Green Electronics Council

The Green Electronics Council is a nonprofit organization founded in 2005 to inspire and catalyze environmental leadership throughout the lifecycle of electronic technologies. The Council achieves this mission by supporting the production of consensus-based environmental leadership standards; by operating EPEAT, the definitive global rating system for greener electronics; and by convening global thought leaders in environmental design, strategy and marketing to envision more sustainable electronics design and delivery methods.

We continually seek opportunities to advance our mission worldwide. Please contact us if you would like to explore collaborative ways to move closer to realizing our vision of a world in which green electronics is a cornerstone of a healthy and vibrant world.

The Green Electronics Council spearheads multiple programs to inspire responsible environmental action in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These initiatives have been designed to explore and advance the connections between electronics and sustainability. You can learn more about each program by browsing the tabs on the left.
