The Global Electronics Council^® (GEC) invites leading organizations to apply for the 2025 EPEAT^® Purchaser Awards. The award recognizes excellence in procurement practices and celebrates organizations that have optimized their purchasing strategies with EPEAT registered products, unlocking measurable savings and efficiency gains.

In 2024, previous award recipients achieved:

• $103 million in cost savings, demonstrating how purchasing EPEAT registered IT products reduce lifetime product costs, from energy consumption to waste disposal.
• Energy savings of 2,141 GWh, equivalent to powering 176,269 U.S. households in a year.
• 567,188 metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions, comparable to taking 121,453 cars off the road annually.

Why should you apply for the EPEAT Purchaser Awards?
EPEAT registered products offer more than environmental benefits—they’re engineered for efficiency, durability, and reduced operational costs by companies that prioritize responsible practices, including in their supply chain. By choosing the EPEAT registered products, organizations save on energy bills, extend product lifecycles, and minimize overall product expenses. Whether it’s electronics for office use or larger investments like photovoltaic modules and inverters, the EPEAT ecolabel helps purchasers achieve more with less.

How to Qualify for the 2025 Awards
To participate, organizations must:

• Purchase EPEAT registered products that meet performance and sustainability criteria.
• Include EPEAT preferences in procurement policies and contracts.
• Report on the volume of EPEAT registered purchases.

GEC provides resources to simplify the process, including templates for procurement policies, vendor engagement tips, and additional resources to help your organization expand EPEAT adoption across all product categories.
