About
This Report
The Consumer Technology Association’s 2019 Sustainability Report is our sixth report to stakeholders. Produced on a biennial basis, it profiles the sustainability challenges, opportunities and performance of our member companies, the consumer technology industry generally, and CTA and its operations. This report focuses on environmental and social matters and does not attempt to document economic or governance activities of CTA or its member companies. It addresses industry activities during calendar years 2018 and 2019.
By necessity, we do not document the full array of goals, initiatives and performance of all of our more than 2,200 member companies, but instead seek to highlight some of the most important achievements and commitments of these enterprises, and document the ways CTA leverages collaboration, innovation and investment to strengthen environmental and social performance. The content of this year’s report is drawn from reports, case studies and data submitted by CTA members; from scientific studies conducted on behalf of CTA by independent research organizations; from academic, NGO and governmental sources, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency; from media accounts; and from the public corporate sustainability and corporate responsibility reports published by CTA members.
Additional information concerning members’ operations and performance is available on their corporate websites or can be found within their own sustainability or corporate social responsibility reports. In an effort to conserve natural resources, this report is designed for distribution in interactive form, including mobile-friendly formats, or via a downloadable portable document format (PDF).
We value feedback from stakeholders, which enables us to improve future iterations of this report. For comments, suggestions or questions about this report, please contact: egrimm@CTA.tech.
