BSR Insight | HP, Dell, and Nokia Top Greenpeace’s Green Products Ranking
Greenpeace’s 2011 “Guide to Greener Electronics” ranks 15 leading mobile phone, TV, and computer manufacturers on their policies and practices to reduce climate impacts, produce greener products, and make their operations more sustainable. HP, Dell, and Nokia top the list of the greenest manufacturers, while LG Electronics, Toshiba, and RIM take the bottom three ranks.
The guide provides in-depth evaluations of each manufacturer based on the following:
Energy and climate: disclosure of greenhouse (GHG) emissions, commitment to reduce short- and long-term GHG emissions, a clean energy plan, and advocacy for clean energy policies at national and sub-national levels
Greener products: energy efficiency of new products, products free from hazardous materials, use of post-consumer recycled plastics in products, and product lifecycles
Sustainable operations: reductions of GHG emissions by major suppliers, policies and practices on chemicals management, sustainable sourcing of paper, avoidance of conflict minerals, and responsibility for voluntary take-back of ewaste
