Updated information on sustainability work
At the Sustainability Council's meeting on May 20, the Council decided on updated information on the industry's sustainability work, which is now published on the IT&Telecom companies' website.
The Swedish IT and telecom industry has long been working on sustainability issues, both in the private sector and the public sector. This work is now more important than ever, and active sustainability work is a prerequisite for being able to meet the sustainability requirements of legislation and the market, and for contributing to the achievement of the global sustainability goals in Agenda 2030. The industry strives to enable and facilitate sustainable behavior in all parts of society that use the IT and telecom industry's services and products.
The information is divided into a number of areas:
- Sustainability in general
- Energy, energy efficiency and climate impact
- Chemical substances and materials
- Environmental legislation
- Standardization
- Sustainability requirements in procurement and purchasing
- Eco-labeling
- Producer responsibility
- Social sustainability
- Circular economy
