As part of ViewSonic’s pledge to corporate citizenship and lowering our environmental

footprint, we strive to serve the community by better understanding the significance of the

product life cycle through product carbon footprinting. That process includes the estimation

of emissions from materials, production, distribution, and end-of-life management.

For environmental footprinting,

ViewSonic utilizes Product

Attribute to Impact Algorithm

(PAIA). Developed by the

Massachusetts Institute

of Technology (MIT), PAIA

is a streamlined life cycle

assessment (LCA) tool that

examines the greenhouse gas

emissions released throughout

the lifecycle of a product to

calculate the product carbon

footprint.

This product’s estimated carbon footprint:

Estimated impact by lifecycle stage with breakout for manufacturing by component:

ViewSonic VP3481 Monitor Committed to being inclusive and transparent, the included box plot presents the degree of uncertainty of PAIA for product carbon footprinting. Uncertainty can come from differences in data, bias, allocation inconsistencies, and methodology used.
