What's shocking (to me at least) about this report is that over the time Greenpeace has been running it, the highest scoring companies have fallen back. In March 2007, Lenovo scored eight. In the latest report, the highest score is around 7.6. And Nokia, who a year ago scored 7.5 now scores 6.5.

I personally do not believe that Nokia has changed its environmental policy that much in the past year, so you have to assume that the scoring method is flawed.

Equally, giving Nintendo ZERO when they weren't even included in previous surveys seems like a pr stunt to garner some coverage for the report.

The only reason ninty god a bad rating was because they couldnt get the info. I saw the Greenpeace thing and for every 0 it sadi info not avaible dirty liars!!!

Information not available because it isn't collected, because Nintendo don't do any of it, possibly?

And maybe the reason those companies have scored lower this time around, such as Nokia, is because the criteria have become more stringent, or the initiative has fallen by the wayside?

Let's not jump to conclusions - it's a worthy thing that Greenpeace are doing here, and it would benefit "our" industry to improve scores all round.

But that's EXACTLY what you did:

"because Nintendo don't do any of it, possibly"

"the initiative has fallen by the wayside"

Adding a question mark at the end doesn't turn your assumptions in to reasonable questions.


But Greenpeace are zealots. If what they are doing is intended to be worthy, it would behove them to undertake even the most basic diligence in their methodology. Awarding a company an "unprecedented" zero because they don't know how god or bad the company's record is is pathetic. I was a Greenpeace sympathiser and supporter, but this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not because it's Nintendo, I am pretty neutral about Ninty... but because it could have been ANY company. Because it's shoddy behaviour, and because they didn't even include Nintendo in the last five surveys, which leads me to conclude that their inclusion now is merely a PR stunt.
