Webinar Recording- A Focus on Impacts in the IT Supply Chain

Overview

The Green Electronics Council’s (GEC) EPEAT ecolabel empowers purchasing organizations to meet their organizational sustainability goals through their purchasing decisions. New guidance from GEC helps purchasers better connect the dots between EPEAT criteria and specific sustainability impact areas, such as addressing climate change, chemicals of concern, supply chain social impacts, plastics, and waste to landfills. Join GEC’s Senior Director of EPEAT Category Development, Patty Dillon and Senior Manager of Purchaser Relations, Andrea Desimone, to learn how you can use this new guidance in your organization’s sustainable IT procurement program.
