Global Electronics Association Launches IPC-1783-CO2E Standard

The Global Electronics Association has introduced IPC-1783-CO2E, a new international standard aimed at improving consistency, transparency and comparability in product carbon footprint reporting across the electronics manufacturing industry.
The standard, titled International Standard for Data Collection and Reporting of CO2 Equivalent (CO2e) Emissions for the Electronics Manufacturing Supply Chain, provides industry-specific guidance for collecting, estimating and reporting carbon emissions data.
With increasing regulatory requirements and customer expectations, electronics manufacturers face challenges in comparing emissions data collected through different methodologies. IPC-1783-CO2E addresses these gaps by establishing a common framework for product-level carbon footprint calculations across complex, multi-tier supply chains.
Francis D’Souza, Task Group Chair for IPC-1783-CO2E and CEO, banyan.eco, said the standard provides a practical, standardised approach to emissions reporting, helping manufacturers improve data quality and strengthen confidence in reported information.
The framework introduces activity and process models for calculating CO2e emissions, supported by data-quality indicators and methodology guidance. It also aligns with recognised Greenhouse Gas Protocol and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) principles.
Chris Jorgensen, Senior Director, Standards, Global Electronics Association, highlighted the importance of reliable carbon footprint data in globally interconnected electronics supply chains.
The standard is expected to support sustainability, environmental compliance, procurement and manufacturing professionals in improving emissions reporting, addressing regulatory expectations and advancing sustainability initiatives across the electronics industry.
