Today Greenpeace released the 17th version of its Guide to Greener Electronics. In the guide they have ranked 15 manufacturers of personal computers, mobile phones and TVs according to the following categories; Energy and Climate, Greener Products and Sustainable Operations. Sony Ericsson was ranked 6th place, scoring 4.2 out of 10, placing us at the top amongst the Android™ smartphone players.
In this edition, Greenpeace has changed the scoring system, introduced tougher requirements and updated many criteria. New criteria were also added, raising the bar for the manufacturers. Overall, the new ranking has stronger focus on energy and climate issues.
We welcome the Greenpeace ranking and appreciate the feedback on our sustainability work as it highlights our strengths and room for improvements. We are one of the top scorers in the products category, where we received maximum scores on energy efficiency of our phones and for our advice to users to increase efficiency. We also scored high on avoidance of hazardous substances. Areas were we need to improve according to the report are amongst others renewable energy, greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, utilization of post-consumer recycled plastics and information about recycling. Going forward we will work even harder, not only in the identified, but in all areas of sustainability. We welcome your feed-back and comments on the report and our sustainability work.
