How professional displays are becoming more energy-efficient and sustainable

If you’re responsible for dozens or hundreds of professional displays, you’ll know that choosing a display involves more than just picture quality.

In this episode of the BRIX zero podcast, host Marjolein Koens-Schaddelee discusses this with Rik Willemse, Head of Professional Displays & Solutions Europe at Sony. He explains how Sony is increasingly prioritising energy efficiency and product quality in the development of professional displays.

Energy consumption, reliability and lifespan have a direct impact on your total costs and your carbon footprint. So how do you ensure you’re making the right choices today – both for your organisation and for the long term?

Episode summary

In this episode, our host Marjolein Koens-Schaddelee speaks with Rik Willemse, Head of Professional Displays & Solutions Europe at Sony. The focus is on how a manufacturer puts sustainability into practice in the field of professional displays.

Europe is leading the way in sustainability pressures and is thereby influencing global product development. At Sony, quality has traditionally been the guiding principle, both in terms of image performance and product reliability. Energy efficiency has now been explicitly added as a strategic design choice.

For facility and IT managers, this means that energy consumption and lifespan are structural factors in TCO and carbon footprint. The impact adds up quickly, particularly when dealing with large numbers of screens. The episode demonstrates that sustainability requires entrepreneurial spirit within organisations and collaboration across the supply chain.
