ViewSonic, a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, has made a significant stride in promoting sustainable practices by achieving the first-ever EPEAT Gold rating in the signage display category. This achievement underscores ViewSonic’s dedication to offering products that minimize environmental impact throughout their lifecycle while supporting a circular economy.
The EPEAT Gold certification, awarded by the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool, recognizes the highest level of environmental performance in electronic products. To earn this distinction, products must meet rigorous sustainability criteria, including the use of reduced hazardous materials, energy efficiency, and extended product longevity. ViewSonic’s EPEAT Gold-rated ViewBoard interactive display stands out in the category, which encompasses both touch and non-touch displays.
“As a global solution provider, we are committed to ensuring our products and supply chain adhere to the highest eco-friendly standards without compromising on quality,” said Bonny Cheng, Chief Operating Officer at ViewSonic. “Achieving the first EPEAT Gold rating in the signage display category is a testament to our relentless pursuit of sustainability. We will continue to provide environmentally responsible solutions that meet and exceed global standards.”
ViewSonic’s EPEAT Gold-rated 65” ViewBoard series is a prime example of their commitment to sustainable practices. This series is crafted with over 90% post-consumer recycled materials, surpassing industry standards. Furthermore, the ViewBoard series minimizes the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring technological advancements while upholding environmental responsibility.
Another key factor in achieving the Gold rating is ViewSonic’s dedication to a transparent and responsible supply chain. The company works closely with its suppliers to implement comprehensive environmental management systems and establish a Full Material Disclosure (FMD). This disclosure ensures that all materials, components, and parts meet the highest environmental standards.
This latest achievement builds upon ViewSonic’s existing commitment to sustainability. The company boasts a variety of solutions that have been EPEAT Gold compliant since 2023. Additionally, ViewSonic holds the most EPEAT Silver certifications for its interactive and commercial displays in the signage display category. A remarkable 90% of ViewSonic’s WorkPro Series monitors are also EPEAT certified.
ViewSonic’s EPEAT Gold-rated product portfolio includes the ViewBoard IFP6533 Series, ergonomic WorkPro monitors, and the ColorPro pre-calibrated monitor, recognized for its exceptional color performance. Adding to their sustainable offerings, ViewSonic’s laser and LED projector lineups feature energy-saving models with high brightness and impressive lifespans of up to 60,000 hours. These lamp-free light sources provide an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional mercury-based lamp projectors.
Beyond individual products, ViewSonic has a broader commitment to sustainability. The company actively adopts additional measures to ensure its operations and products meet the highest environmental standards. ViewSonic has set a goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050—a target validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2024. This ambitious goal is being realized through the implementation of renewable energy, supply chain decarbonization, the development of low-carbon products, and continuous efforts to enhance product efficiency.
By achieving the first EPEAT Gold rating in the signage display category and consistently striving for sustainable practices, ViewSonic is setting a new standard for environmentally responsible technology solutions. The company is dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet and empowering individuals and organizations to embrace a more sustainable future.
