Nokia, Dell, Lenovo Lead the Green

Greenpeace increased Apple’s marks just for promising to be more green in the future, but Nokia came out on top along with Dell and Lenovo which garnered second place. Apple and Sony were near the bottom of the pile.

Greenpeace is aggressive in criticizing electronics manufacturers: ‘The electronics ranking guide has been our answer to getting the electronics industry to face up to the problem of e-waste. We want manufacturers to take responsibility for the unprotected child laborers who scavenge the mountains of cast-off gadgets created by our gizmo-loving ways.’

Greenpeace also states: ‘We’ve been happily surprised at how quickly many corporations have risen to the competitive challenge. It’s especially rewarding to see more than a few CEOs openly vying for the top green spot, and challenging their competitors to adopt industry-wide policies to reduce the problem of e-waste.’
