Where Technology Distribution Leads Sustainable Change
Supporting Sustainability and IT innovation.
As an industry, we must rethink how we design, manufacture, consume, and dispose of IT products, ensuring that progress is both sustainable and inclusive. The GTDC Sustainability hub offers practical resources to help technology distributors lead this transformation, from key European legislation and commonly used acronyms to the latest news, events, and diverse perspectives. Discover how environmental, social, and governance principles are shaping a fairer, greener, and more resilient global IT ecosystem.
EU Sustainability Legislation: What You Need to Know
Sustainability is no longer a choice - it is a strategic and regulatory imperative. Across the European Union, a growing body of legislation is shaping how businesses operate, report, and innovate toward a greener, more responsible future. From overarching climate goals to industry-specific directives, the EU is setting clear expectations for organizations to reduce their environmental impact and promote circular practices.
For the IT sector, this transition carries both challenges and opportunities. Whether it is regulations on eco-design for electronics, obligations around supply chain transparency, or new reporting standards for digital operations, the role of IT in driving sustainable business is becoming central.
