Policy

The digital technology industry is committed to the integration of environmental considerations at the stage of product design with the aim of reducing all relevant potential environmental impacts over its entire life cycle.

 

The Environmental Policy Group (EPG) works to ensure that the European digital technology industry respects environmental legislation, while allowing the sector to prosper. EPG promotes the role of the industry in its own sustainable growth. In order to be sustainable the ICT industry must reduce its environmental impact via more efficient resource use and development of environmentally friendly products.

 

The policy group proactively advises relevant stakeholders to enable flexibility and innovation in the market place to facilitate the sector?s competitiveness.

 

The EPG is supported by four clusters that group all active issues into a number of topical issues. The four clusters are:
