If you queried Nintendo about their 0/10 score from Greenpeace, you’ll get a lovely PR response. They even have a website to go along with it!

“We were surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report, given that we take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling, etc. For example, all Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards.”

Convinced? It’s only a response after all. Regardless of what the official response is and what sites like Ars Technica may write up, it’d be interesting to find out what, if any, changes Nintendo is making internally following the Greenpeace report.

We were surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report, given that we take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling, etc. For example, 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.

We are always actively looking at ways to continue to increase our environmental stewardship and hold this as a corporate priority worldwide. For some additional information on Nintendo of America’s environmental efforts, please visit the following page on our website:
