About EPEAT

EPEAT is a comprehensive evaluation standard for the environmental impact of personal computers and computer peripherals, which was established in 2006 by the Green Electronics Council (GEC), an affiliate of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The requirements look at not only production such as reduction of hazardous substances, recyclable design, long life design, recovery and recycling, but also corporate activities such as CSR and corporate governance.

Life Cycle Assessment and Product Carbon Footprint

We carried out the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of EPEAT registered products to calculate and evaluate their environmental impact. The greenhouse gas emissions generated during the product cycle, including the procurement of parts, the manufacturing process, the use and the disposal of the products have also been measured.

The results of LCA of each product can be found below.

Corporate Carbon Footprint

We calculated Corporate Carbon Footprint (Scope1, 2 and 3)* of EIZO and our consolidated companies.
Results for fiscal 2022 can be found here. The results have been verified by a third-party organization.
Greenhouse gas emission measurements may differ from those in the other documents due to differences in calculation conditions and scope.

*Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organization (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles).
Scope 2: Indirect GHG emissions that occur from using electricity, heat, or steam.
Scope 3: All sources not within an organization’s scope 1 and 2 boundary (purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, business travel, employee commuting, use of sold products, investments etc.)

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Transportation

We calculated the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated during the transportation of EPEAT registered products from the factory to customers.

The results for fiscal year 2021 can be found here. The results have been verified by a third-party organization.

By fiscal year 2030, we aim to reduce greenhouse emissions generated from transportation by 5% per monitor compared to fiscal year 2021.

Only transportation to customers in the United States has been measured.

Supplier Environmental Performance

The LCD module is the part that emits the most CO2 among the materials making up the products. EIZO closely monitors the environmental performance of LCD module suppliers for EPEAT registered products.
・ Water usage
・ Energy consumption
・ Greenhouse gas emissions  (scope 1 and 2)

See the aggregated environmental performance data on LCD module suppliers for EPEAT registered products here.
