News highlights

Soren Enholm, the CEO at TCO Development

The organization behind the sustainability certification TCO Certified is TCO Development. TCO Development works globally towards a future where all IT products have a sustainable life cycle. The international team is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with team members working remotely at several continents around the world.

Soren Enholm, the CEO at TCO Development, has, once again, been named one of Sweden's most influential people in sustainability. The list of 101 people is put together every year by the Swedish magazine Aktuell Hallbarhet.

It is a great honor to be on the list to highlight the importance of more sustainable IT products. And with a record high interest in certified products it is satisfying to see that purchasers' demand for TCO Certified push the IT industry in the right direction. Together we drive progress toward sustainable IT products and circular solutions, says Sören Enholm.

The story of TCO Certified began more than 30 years ago. Sören has led the work since 2009 and it is the second year in a row he is on the list. The sustainability requirements of TCO Certified affect how more than 100 million IT products are manufactured each year. The requirements are tightened every three years — towards a more circular design, safer chemicals, a reduced product carbon footprint and better working conditions in factories. To challenge the industry and drive the development of more sustainable IT products, the criteria go beyond legislation and industry standards.

TCO Certified is available for 12 product categories, including computers, mobile devices, display products, imaging equipment and data center products. Compliance is independently verified, both pre- and post-certification. All product models can be found at Product Finder.
