Best Buy: Reducing the climate impact of electronics

The seemingly mundane electronics you use every day—your stove, dishwasher, TV and much more—have a cumulative effect on the climate, says Best Buy’s director of environmental affairs Tim Dunn. Dunn shares how the company is addressing climate change at scale by helping customers reduce their carbon impact through energy-efficient products, considering the full lifecycle of everything they sell, and designing for circularity.
