Partner Content: Sustainability That Performs – Why Philips Monitors with TCO Certified Generation 10 Stand Out

Sustainability in tech is no longer optional. It’s now a key factor in procurement decisions across both the public and private sectors.

From the rising cost of energy to mounting e-waste and intensifying climate impacts, organisations are being forced to think differently about the technology they buy. IT buyers increasingly prioritise hardware that not only meets operational needs but also aligns with environmental and ethical goals.

That’s where Philips monitors with TCO Certified Generation 10 make a powerful impact - delivering professional-grade performance backed by the most demanding sustainability certification in the IT industry.

What Is TCO Certified – And Why Does It Matter?

TCO Certified is the leading global sustainability certification for IT products. Developed by the independent organisation TCO Development, it’s not just another green badge. It’s a rigorous framework built around environmental and social responsibility across the entire product lifecycle - including manufacturing, energy use, durability, and recyclability.

Key features of TCO Certified include:

• Independent verification of compliance - no self-assessments or vague claims
• Mandatory sustainability performance across over 40 criteria
• Regular updates to reflect the latest challenges in sustainability

Generation 10: The Gold Standard in IT Sustainability

TCO Certified Generation 10 is the most advanced version of the certification to date - and the hardest to achieve. It raises the bar on everything from climate and circular economy considerations to socially responsible supply chains.

While many Philips monitors carry TCO certifications, only select models currently meet the strict Generation 10 criteria. That exclusivity signals real achievement - and gives buyers confidence that they're investing in the most future-ready technology available.

One example is the Philips 34B2U3600C, a 34-inch curved VA monitor with USB-C docking. This model exemplifies what Generation 10 represents: high performance, reduced environmental impact, and smart functionality designed for today’s flexible workspaces.
