PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Green Building Initiative (GBI) has announced that the Global Electronics Council’s (GEC) EPEAT® ecolabel will serve as an additional pathway for evaluating the sustainability and efficiency of products within GBI Ascent and Green Globes® certifications. This alignment strengthens the connection between product-level sustainability and building-level performance, enabling more holistic evaluation of energy efficiency across the built environment. “We are pleased to promote EPEAT as a trusted resource for procurement professionals and manufacturers to support delivery and implementation of the most efficient products available,” said Vicki Worden, GBI CEO. “Energy use in the built environment is exploding, led by rapid data center growth and increasing power demands to run the servers, networking equipment, and data storage equipment housed in them,” said Bob Mitchell, CEO of the Global Electronics Council. “Integrating EPEAT into the Green Globes and Ascent certifications ensures that energy use and all other sustainability impacts of ICT equipment used in data centers and all GBI certified buildings are minimized. We are thrilled with this exciting new collaboration and look forward to working with GBI to help their members adopt EPEAT registered ICT equipment.” GBI’s Green Globes and Ascent certifications are designed to align with industry standards and offer multiple compliance pathways, making sustainability certification more accessible to a broad range of building types. The integration of EPEAT adds both flexibility and accountability for Green Globes and Ascent users, helping to reduce risk while achieving measurable outcomes. Together, GBI and GEC are equipping project teams to achieve deeper, measurable sustainability impacts. To date, over 25 million square feet of data centers have been certified or are pursuing Green Globes or Ascent certification in 18 states and Canada, underscoring the scale and impact of sustainable choices in this rapidly growing sector.

As the session reaffirmed China’s long-term vision and steady commitment to sharing growth opportunities with the world, observers are watching closely to see how China’s leadership will bring new energy to Asia-Pacific development and help guide the region through increasing geopolitical and economic challenges. “There has never been a more critical time for APEC,” said Eduardo Pedrosa, executive director of the APEC Secretariat, in a recent interview. He expressed his anticipation of President Xi’s participation, emphasizing that China has long been a strong supporter and contributor to APEC. Openness and connectivity for win-win cooperation On the Pacific coast of Peru, the Chancay Port — South America’s first smart and green port — will soon celebrate its first anniversary of operation. Described as a “New Inca Trail,” the project has created new trade routes between Latin America and Asia, serving as a clear example of openness and connectivity in the Asia-Pacific. When President Xi attended the 31st APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Lima in 2024, he watched the port’s opening via video link. He has called for fully utilizing APEC’s role as an “incubator of
