Nintendo responds to latest Greenpeace Greener Electronics Ranking |
Ó
When you have an noted organization like Greenpeace releasing Greener Electronics Ranking results, you can expect to hear from the companies involved. This is especially true for those whose scores may not have been so favorable. Well, a certain 8-Bit Jay asked Nintendo what it thought about the 0.3 score on Greenpeace's scale, and Nintendo replied.
In a nutshell, Nintendo's customer service responded to 8-Bit Jay's query by saying that the company was surprised at the results of the report. According to Nintendo, the company has been making an effort to comply with all relevant regulations, such as recycling and what not.
To follow is an excerpt from Nintendo's official statement:
We take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials. All Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards. In order to certify that Nintendo products comply with standards for hazardous chemical substances, Nintendo has established the Green Procurement Standards, which require our component suppliers to certify that any parts they deliver do not include hazardous chemical substances, and ensure that Nintendo fully controls its products internally.
Incidentally, a quick look at Nintendo's previous response to an earlier Greenpeace ranking shows a similar reply. Nevertheless, part of the problem may lie in lack of communication - Greenpeace had reported that it had not received a reply from Nintendo despite previous inquiries into the latter's policies.

They care about the ratings they're given, but do not respond to Greenpeace or give them information on what they're doing to comply. Sounds fishy to me....
u hate nintendo so of course it sounds fishy XD
What even more fishy is how they could give a score without proper data from Nintendo, Or maybe no answer means no good score ?
nobody cares about Greenpeace, if I were part of Nintendo, i'd just ignore the tree huggers.
Aparently that's what they're doing. Nintendo doesn't like being rated lowest, yet they don't respond to any requests for information. If they have nothing to hide, why hide it?
it sucks to be an idiot
Greenpeace is a terrorist organization.
That's probably it. No info + nothing to work with + low score. It's like the way a teacher gives a student a zero on a quiz if the student was absent for the day or something.
