Nintendo has once again ranked bottom in Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics report.
In the 15th edition of the report the platform holder scored 1.8 on Greenpeace's 10-point scale for its policies on toxic chemicals, recycling and climate change,
Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, making it the least eco-friendly of the 18 electronics companies featured.
Greenpeace said that Nintendo’s score rose from 1.4 to 1.8 because of an improvement in its approach to managing chemical substances, but noted that the Wii and DS maker continued to score zero on all e-waste criteria.
Following a similarly poor assessment of its environmental practices in January, Nintendo told us that it considers the impact of its products “over their entire life cycle, from planning to disposal", and that the “Wii console is notably the most energy efficient of its generation”.
Elsewhere in Greenpeace's most recent report, Sony moved up from seventh place to joint sixth,
