Fostering Sustainability in Education and Business through Innovative Interactive Displays
ViewSonic Corp., a global leader in visual and EdTech solutions, is unveiling a comprehensive environmental and social impact strategy worldwide, centered on its line of interactive displays. In a commitment to positively impact the planet, ViewSonic is integrating sustainability into its devices and solutions.
With a vision to reduce its carbon footprint by 42% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, ViewSonic’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 4, 12, and 15. These goals emphasize equitable quality education, responsible product life cycles, and the restorative management of ecosystems.
Clifford Chen, General Manager of the Presentation Group at ViewSonic, stated, “Technological advancement and environmental stewardship can and must go hand in hand. As a leader in the Interactive Display market, this represents a pivotal step towards a more sustainable and responsible future in the technology sector. It’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to environmental and social responsibility.”
In its quest for reduced environmental impact, ViewSonic’s ViewBoard interactive displays incorporate recycled materials and energy-saving features, resulting in a 24.43% reduction in carbon footprint compared to the previous generation. These displays are registered with EPEAT® and certified by ENERGY STAR® 8.0, attesting to their high environmental performance in product longevity, circular design, and energy efficiency. Each ViewBoard comes with a detailed report outlining its carbon emissions and overall environmental footprint.
Energy Conservation: Designed for minimal power consumption, ViewSonic’s interactive displays feature various modes to reduce carbon footprint. The Energy-Saving Mode powers down the device when no signal is received, entering Stand-By Mode after an hour of inactivity. For scheduled power-on-and-offs, users can customize times using Manager Advanced. The Energy Savings Calculator provides precise information on power consumption for informed decisions.
Product Longevity: ViewBoards prioritizes longevity and serviceability with a modular and upgradable framework, enabling component replacement and technological advancements without discarding the entire unit. Users can extend the product lifecycle by incorporating a slot-in PC or accessorizing with sensors, fostering a circular economy and minimizing environmental impact.
Social Impact: ViewSonic will actively participate in technology tradeshows, including BETT 2024 in London (January 24th to 26th) and ISE 2024 in Barcelona (January 30th to February 2nd), to raise awareness about sustainable technology in education and corporate environments. By engaging with these sectors, the company aims to encourage the adoption of environmentally conscious devices for a positive impact on the planet.
