Fairphone & Apple Top Greenpeace Rankings
We periodically check in on the Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks participating manufacturers on GreenICT criteria. No manufacturer received a top score this time, but there was a wide varience among the global mix of companies.
The criteria vary year-to-year; this most recent scorecard used "Impact area grades [that] are derived by the following weighting of criteria: Transparency (30%), Commitment (30%), Performance (30%), and Advocacy (10%) ." Greenpeace has also switch from a 10-point score to a letter grade.
Fairphone (B) and Apple (B-) performed the best. Amazon, Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi - all relative newcomers - performed the worse.
