The Global Electronics Council (GEC) is a mission-driven nonprofit organization based in Portland, OR that promotes sustainable technology by leveraging the power of purchasers. GEC manages the EPEAT ecolabel, a free resource for procurement professionals to identify and select more sustainable products, as well as a platform for manufacturers to demonstrate their products' adherence to the highest sustainability standards.
GEC believes that while technology is an essential aspect of our lives, it comes at a price. Electronics consume unsustainable amounts of natural resources, contribute to climate change, and contribute to the growing e-waste problem. GEC works with institutional purchasers and electronics brands to drive the demand for more sustainable electronics and reduce their harmful impacts on people and the planet.
