Appendix B (continued) EPE AT EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) is the leading global Type-1 ecolabel for the technology sector, managed by the Global Electronics Council (GEC). The program requires independent verification of product and corporate eco-attributes to ensure that the product meets the EPEAT criteria as claimed. We apply EPEAT standards to our Surface devices. Surface devices must meet specific sustainability and lifecycle-based design and performance criteria to achieve the baseline tier, “Bronze” EPEAT registration level. The achievement of additional optional criteria results in a higher registration of “Silver” or “Gold” level. We are continuously working to reach the highest level of EPEAT registration level, “Gold”, for all our devices. In late 2020, we achieved registration not just in the United States but also in Canada, and in 2021 we expanded our registration to most of Europe. Following is a summary of our Surface computers on the EPEAT registry. These ratings are used by customers to make purchasing decisions based on product and corporate environmental and social attributes. We track progress against EPEAT targets across our Surface portfolio.
