EIZO's Promise to the Environment

The EIZO Group strives to be a leader in responsible business and manufacturing processes to protect the environment for a more sustainable future.
Learn more about our environmental policies

Sustainable Monitor Design

EIZO is committed to environmentally conscious product development,
from the manufacturing process to the user experience. EIZO Sustainability Monitors are at the forefront of these efforts, supporting users and organizations concerned with ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investments and SDGs (sustainable development goals).

Supported initiatives may vary depending on the model.

Sustainable Monitor

Low Environmental Impact Materials

EIZO Sustainable Monitors include models which are made of 95% recycled plastic. This reduces the amount of plastic waste entering the environment, conserves resources, and promotes the reuse of materials to preserve our natural ecosystems.

Paint-Free for a Breath of Fresh Air

Reducing the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a source of air pollution, in manufacturing is a necessary step for sustainability initiatives. Typically, paints which contain VOCs are used to add color, finish, or texture to the exterior surface of products. EIZO manufactures its Sustainable Monitor cabinets using plastic materials which do not contain paints to achieve the ideal color and texture.

Eco-Conscious Packaging

EIZO is committed to reducing its environmental impact by transitioning away from plastic and other environmentally unfriendly materials in product packaging. EIZO Sustainable Monitors are safely packed using molded pulp made from recycled cardboard and newspaper, with cables wrapped in paper instead of plastic bags.

Minimize Cable Waste

EIZO Sustainable Monitors come with an AC power cord and essential signal cables necessary for operation. Eliminating excess cables that might go unused effectively reduces waste, promoting a more eco-conscious approach to its products.

Collective Environmental Consciousness

EIZO offers corporate customers a collective packaging option to support their sustainability goals. Multiple monitors are packaged in a single box, while stands are packaged separately in another box. Unnecessary stands or cables can be excluded upon request. This approach minimizes waste, improves loading efficiency during shipping, and streamlines unpacking and installation time.

Recycle for the Life Cycle

As a manufacturer, we take it upon ourselves to oversee our products' life cycle responsibly from start to finish, even after use. EIZO collects used monitors for recycling in Japan, Europe, and the USA to ensure they are disposed of properly.

Give Your Device an Extended Life

Extending the useful life of our products is more environmentally friendly compared to products with a shorter lifespan. The five-year warranty for FlexScan monitors is a guarantee backed by our confidence in our strict quality control that ensures our products last longer in the hands of the user. In addition, replacement parts for repair are retained by EIZO in case of failure or technical trouble to further support long-term, reliable use.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

In response to climate change, EIZO is committed to reducing the emission of GHG (greenhouse gases), such as CO2. EIZO Sustainable Monitors contribute to this effort by not only reducing power consumption during use, but by also being handled responsibly from manufacture to disposal for the reduction of GHG emissions throughout the entire value chain.

Sustainable from Start to Finish

We conduct product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of EIZO Sustainable Monitors on their environmental impact at each stage including the material procurement, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal. Based on the assessment, we formulate an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) following the guidelines of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), an international certification institution, and obtain certification as a Type III declaration under ISO 14025.

Effortlessly Save on Power Consumption

The Auto EcoView function in FlexScan monitors automatically adjusts the screen's brightness according to changes in the ambient lighting. The EcoView Optimizer 2 function fine-tunes the balance between brightness and gain according to the content displayed on the screen. In our latest model, these proprietary technologies cut power consumption by as much as 60%.

Switch to Zero Watts

When the power switch on the back is flipped off, EIZO Sustainable Monitors consume zero watts even while plugged in.

How Green is Your Monitor?

EIZO's Eco Calculator allows you to quickly compare your current monitor and EIZO Sustainable Monitors to find out how much you could save in annual costs and GHG reduction.

Certified Sustainable

In addition to complying with international environmental laws and regulations, we also meet or obtain the latest environmental standards and certifications.

Legal Compliance

EIZO complies with international laws and regulations regarding environmental protection and effective use of energy. In Europe, many enforced regulations play an important role in encouraging other countries and regions to take similar steps.

Examples of European regulations which EIZO complies with:

  • RoHS Directive (restriction of use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment)
  • WEEE Directive (collection and recycling of discarded electrical and electronic equipment)
  • REACH Regulation (management of chemical substances)
  • ErP Directive (eco-design for energy-related products)
  • WF Directive (database registration for managing substances for waste disposal)

Meeting the Latest Sustainability Standards

EIZO Sustainable Monitors also meet the latest environmental standards. In particular, Sweden's TCO Certified, a de facto global environmental standard for IT products, concerns socially responsible manufacturing and environmental awareness, including the handling of hazardous substances and recycling, as well as user ergonomics, human rights, health and safety, and ethics. Furthermore, several monitors are registered at EPEAT Gold (highest tier), indicating that they meet the most demanding set of criteria for sustainability, and has attained the new EPEAT Climate+ designation for compliance with climate change standards.

Examples of environmental standards which EIZO Sustainable Monitors meet:

  • ENERGY STAR 8.0 (international energy efficiency standard established in the USA)
  • TCO Certified (global environmental standard for IT products)
  • EPEAT (international environmental standard for technology products, established in the USA)
  • PC Green Label (Japanese environmental standard for computers and monitors)

EPEAT registration varies by country. Please check www.epeat.net for registration status.

CDP Climate Change A List

EIZO has achieved the highest score of 'A' in the 2024 Climate Change Questionnaire conducted by CDP, an international non-profit organization that operates a global disclosure system for managing environmental impacts. This recognition highlights EIZO's commitment to environmentally conscious product manufacturing and business activities.
