Asian companies reclaim top place of Greenpeace Guide to Greener ...
Greenpeace will rank brands against new energy criteria to encourage the industry to reduce its carbon footprint (3). It is now time to take the next step.The electronic industry must address the environmental impact of its operations and products on the climate as well as toxic chemicals and e-waste. Nintendo managed a paltry score of 0.3 based on its chemicals management policy but scored zero for all other criteria. Nintendo, with a score of 0.3 out of 10, stayed in last place. Nokia failed to improve recycling services in India and Russia, so the penalty point remains in place, keeping Nokia off the top spot. Philips, Panasonic and Sharp continue to ignore their responsibility for e-waste arising from their products.Improvement in Motorola’s takeback and recycling operations in the Philippines, Thailand and India, moved the company up from 14th to 12th position. Since the Guide was first launched in August 2006, most of the brands have risen to the challenges on toxic chemicals and e-waste set by Greenpeace.
