New leadership at TCO Development – a message from new Managing Director Sören Enholm

Tags: , , , ,

soren-enholm_tco4It’s with a sense of anticipation and opportunity that I join TCO Development.  This is an exciting time to be involved in eco-labeling and green technology, withTCO Development uniquely positioned to provide leadership in this rapidly evolving space. In preparation for my new position at TCO I’ve been studying the worlds of ergonomics, environment and eco labeling. With  long experience from the IT market I’m used to lots of buzzwords and acronyms, and there are several similarities with the world of product certification.  For example, what does”Green IT” really mean? The definition by TCO Development includes both good usability (work environment) and low impact on the natural environment, but  others define it only by the latter.
 
Moreover, we’re seeing a widening range of  opinions about problems and solutions connected to IT in the environmental space. For instance, is IT use good or bad for the climate? This and other relevant questions about green and usable technology are vital to providing businesses and consumers with ICT products that truly do make a difference.

I’m looking forward to working with those of you already in our international network and welcome those of you interested in green and usable technology to join the conversation here at GreenITedge. I will blog regularly and look forward to your comments about green and usable products.

Sören Enholm
