Soon products will need a passport too! 🌟 Starting 2026, all products in EU will be required to have a Digital Product Passport (DPP). 🔍 What is it? The DPP is a digital record that provides detailed insights into the products sustainability information throughout their life cycle. 🔍 Why is this important? The DPP enhances transparency, supports sustainable practices, and unlocks new business opportunities. It is a critical factor in achieving a circular economy. Imagine the potential for innovation when every detail of a product's lifecycle is at your fingertips! Are you ready to lead the way in this new era of transparency and sustainability?

A label for the label? 🏅 Sounds strange at first - but it's important, especially for sustainability in product communication! Why is that? - Customers need to be able to recognize sustainability easily, quickly and reliably when making a purchase decision. - In times of increasing external requirements, business customers in particular need ICT solutions that demonstrably help them to achieve #climate targets or comply with legal requirements such as the #LKSG. - Trust in the procurement process is essential!   That's why we asked TÜV Rheinland Group to thoroughly review the entire awarding process for our Telekom-owned labels #GreenMagenta and #GoodMagenta 🔎: with positive results.   I am delighted that TÜV Rheinland has validated and certified our process for awarding the label, including the impact measurement required for the award. This gives us external confirmation that we only award our labels following a structured, professional application process. What does that mean in concrete terms? Before a solution is awarded #GreenMagenta, it must be proven via the so-called impact measurement that it actually brings a significant sustainability advantage: for example, a significantly lower #CO2 footprint than comparable solutions on the market. In short: if it says sustainability on it, it's in it! ✅💯   Why has Deutsche Telekom developed its own sustainability label? While there have long been established labels for wood, paper and fish, customers in our industry have little reliable guidance to help them make sustainable purchasing decisions. The testing process can be flexibly applied to digital solutions or hardware. This closes an important gap. 48 products and solutions with demonstrable ecological or social added value have already been awarded the label. Customers can see at a glance for which benefit the label has been awarded via an addition under the label. Every month, more products undergo the impact measurement and apply for the label. Each one contributes to making our economy and society more sustainable! Many thanks to Michael Werner, Michael Weppler, Tim Julian Lazik, Sebastian Schasche and Sonja Kretschmar!
