Making sustainable technology easier to understand

Lenovo has become an EPEAT 2.0 Launch Partner, supporting updated global sustainability standards for electronics that emphasize climate mitigation, circularity, and responsible supply chains. The program replaces individual environmental claims with a consistent framework for comparing products, helping organizations make informed purchasing decisions. Lenovo states this aligns with its long-standing focus on responsible technology across the full device lifecycle, from design to recycling.

EPEAT 2.0 introduces stricter criteria for evaluating electronics, including updated requirements for chemicals of concern and supply chain transparency. Lenovo’s participation reflects its commitment to higher sustainability standards and transparent product information, supporting its vision of Smarter Technology for All. The company highlights the need for credible standards and practical action to advance sustainability in electronics.

Luca Rossi, President of Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group, emphasizes that advancing sustainability requires both credible standards and practical lifecycle-focused innovation. He notes that Lenovo’s role as an EPEAT 2.0 Launch Partner demonstrates its dedication to responsible technology and clearer product information for customers. The move aims to help organizations better understand the environmental impact of their technology choices.

Sustainability is increasingly a priority for businesses, governments, and institutions when selecting technology, alongside factors like performance and cost. Independent standards like EPEAT provide clear and consistent sustainability data, enabling easier product comparisons. Lenovo’s support for EPEAT 2.0 builds on broader initiatives to improve transparency and measurability in product sustainability across the lifecycle.
