Sustainability expertise for the electronics sector

The electronics sector is highly energy-intensive and resource-heavy, contributing significantly to carbon emissions, e-waste and pollution. And the problem spans categories: in our increasingly digitized world, electronic components are everywhere, from smart factories to smart homes.

As regulations like the EPEAT, ESPR, CBAM and CSRD take hold and consumers as well as B2B customers increasingly push for eco-friendly products, companies must accelerate their adoption of sustainable materials and circular economy principles across the electronics product lifecycle.

This is where Sphera’s electronics sustainability consultants step in.

Our consultants offer the sector-specific expertise, data analytics and software solutions necessary to conduct credible environmental assessments, improve emissions transparency and drive sustainable performance across design, production and end-of-life management.

Key challenges

Your influence over your supply chain is limited

You’re challenged to manage Scope 3 emissions across the value chain, from raw material suppliers to sub-assemblers.

Fluctuating supplier relationships and unstructured processes make it difficult to unearth the data needed to make progress.

You can’t manage emissions from product use

From smartphones to servers, electronic products consume a significant amount of energy throughout their lifecycle.

It’s difficult to estimate the emissions generated during product use due to the electricity consumed by your end user’s behavior and use intensity.

Your product portfolio is diverse and unique

Whether you make integrated circuits, printed circuit boards or computing infrastructure, the materials, processes, components, parts and energy you use vary from product to product.

This diversity complicates carbon footprint calculation and emission reduction planning. There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all decarbonization strategy.

How Sphera’s experts can help
