A central development in 2025 was the launch of EPEAT 2.0, the most significant evolution of the ecolabel’s criteria since its inception. The new framework addresses four sustainability impact areas: Climate Change Mitigation, Sustainable Use of Resources, Chemicals of Concern, and Responsible Supply Chains. The report also explores GEC’s work to support the electronics value chain, including our new hosting role for the Circular Electronics Partnership, the launch of the Supplier Engagement Program for EPEAT, and the expansion of the EPEAT Retailer Program. Since EPEAT launched in 2006, more than 3.2 billion EPEAT Registered products have been sold, helping purchasers save $39 billion and avoid 408 million metric tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. As digital infrastructure and AI continue to shape the electronics industry, the report offers a look at GEC’s progress, partnerships, and ongoing efforts to achieve 100% sustainable electronics by 2050 for everyone, everywhere. **Explore GEC’s 2025 Annual Report:** For more information or media inquiries, please contact: **Erik Fessler**, Senior Manager, Global Communications, efessler@gec.org ### Additional Media #### Images [ ![2025 GEC Annual Report Preview - GEC & EPEAT Story: A Timeline](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_thumbnail_x2/public/images/2025%20Annual%20Report%20Erik%20Edits.png?h=62accbb7) 2025 GEC Annual Report Preview - GEC & EPEAT Story: A Timeline ](/sites/default/files/images/2025%20Annual%20Report%20Erik%20Edits.png "2025 GEC Annual Report Preview - GEC & EPEAT Story: A Timeline") [![Global Electronics Council logo with tagline “Advancing Sustainable Technology.”](/sites/default/files/2025-09/GEC-Logo_Tagline_Full-Color-417px-200px.png)](/profiles/global-electronics-council) ### More from Global Electronics Council ###### [First Registered Networking Equipment Continues EPEAT’s Expansion Into Sustainable Digital Infrastructure](/news/first-registered-networking-equipment-continues-epeats-expansion-sustainable-digital-0) Sep 1, 2026 10:09 AM ET ###### [Institutions Cut 224,000 Metric Tons of CO₂ Through EPEAT Registered Procurement](/news/institutions-cut-224000-metric-tons-co2-through-epeat-registered-procurement) Jul 7, 2026 10:17 AM ET ###### [Loyola University Chicago’s Blueprint for Responsible Technology Procurement](/news/loyola-university-chicagos-blueprint-responsible-technology-procurement) Jun 11, 2026 12:30 PM ET ###### [California Leverages EPEAT To Advance Net-Zero Goals Through Sustainable Procurement](/news/california-leverages-epeat-advance-net-zero-goals-through-sustainable-procurement) Apr 28, 2026 9:02 AM ET ###### [Circular Electronics Partnership Marks Five Years With New Focus on Solutions and Implementation](/news/circular-electronics-partnership-marks-five-years-new-focus-solutions-and-implementation) Mar 31, 2026 10:30 AM ET ###### [First Registered Networking Equipment Continues EPEAT’s Expansion Into Sustainable Digital Infrastructure](/news/first-registered-networking-equipment-continues-epeats-expansion-sustainable-digital) Mar 19, 2026 10:10 AM ET ###### [Global Electronics Council Launches EPEAT 2.0 To Accelerate the Next Generation of Responsible Technology](/news/global-electronics-council-launches-epeat-20-accelerate-next-generation) Dec 10, 2025 9:00 AM ET ###### [Green Building Initiative and Global Electronics Council Align to Advance Whole Building Energy Efficiency](/news/green-building-initiative-and-global-electronics-council-align-advance-whole-building-energy) Oct 28, 2025 11:35 AM ET
