Greenpeace has been ranking electronic companies since August 2006. As of today, they have been publishing 16 of such rankings. The latest being in October 2010. It's been quite sometime .. so where are the 17th and 18th editions, if I calculate their frequency of publishing on quarterly basis correctly. At the top spot is Nokia and the bottom one is Nintendo.
Ranking criteria explained
The ranking criteria reflect the demands of the Toxic Tech campaign to the electronics companies. Our three demands are that companies should:
- Clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances.
- Take back and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete.
- Reduce the climate impacts of their operations and products.
The use of harmful chemicals in electronics prevents their safe recycling when the products are discarded. Companies scored marks out of 51, which we present on a scale of 0 to 10 for simplicity.
