However, overall, Greenpeace is still pretty disappointed that a lot of manufacturers continue to talk big but don’t show up to the party.
Read on for why certain companies rank where they do.
From Greenpeace:
Of the 18 market-leading companies included in the Guide, only Sharp, Fujitsu Siemens and Philips show full support for the necessary cuts of 30 percent for industrial nations by 2020. Only HPand Philips have made commitments to make substantial cuts in their own emissions.
All the other companies in the Guide make vague or essentially meaningless statements about global emissions reductions and have no plans to make absolute emissions cuts themselves.
With the need for deep emission cuts becoming ever more urgent it's vital big companies support a global deal and take effective measures now to reduce their overall emissions.
Greenpeace puts a big focus on a low carbon future, and looks at everything an electronics manufacturer needs to create a gadget and the gadget itself– transport networks, energy efficiency of product, manufacturing facility efficiency and footprint, and so on.
With these areas in mind, they’ve ranked Nokia at the top (again), with Toshiba, Sharp and Motorola climbing the ranks. However, Dell, HP, Apple and Acer dropped down.
Ouch! Nintendo

The greenest of all is NO electronics! I wonder how quickly that idea would go over... ha.

As the economy worse I hope we don't see these rating slide more to the red.

justright:
Well, if the economy worsens, people will buy less stuff including these electronic devices. A significant drop in sales of consumer electronics might offset the environmental harm done by bad manufacturing processes.

Wow, the Playstation 3 is more green than the Xbox 360 and Wii, I guess you do get what you pay for!

Love the fact that some of the companies (Dell) have "green" programs and are still in the red (in this case orange). What I mean by programs is that you can purchase a tree that the company would plant and it should offset the carbon footprint of the computer.
