Providing environmental information about products is a responsibility that all international corporations must assume. The primary objective is to keep consumers informed about environmental information regarding the products they purchase. Acer uses the IT ECO Declaration standard; information disclosed includes the following:

• EMS and environmental report
• Environmentally conscious design
• Energy consumption
•  Noise characteristics
•  Electrical safety
•  EMC and electromagnetic emissions from monitors
•  Chemical emissions
•  Hazardous substances
•  Batteries
•  Packaging
•  Recycling

Acer started to manufacture environmentally friendly products even before it spun off the computer manufacturing division, and has been following IT ECO Declaration practices for all products. To learn about our IT ECO products, please go to List of Self-Declared Acer Products.

For our monitors Acer uses Sweden 's TCO mark, which demands the most extensive and strict application criteria in the entire monitor industry. The label standards are primarily concerned with energy use, ergonomics, radiation, and safety.
