Nintendo improves Greenpeace score to 0.3

Remember when Nintendo scored a 0/10 in environmental performance? It was mostly because their information isn’t public. Since then, Greenpeace has gotten hints that Nintendo does indeed have a chemicals management policy. Despite not knowing the details, this alone was enough to bump Nintendo up a third of a point! …almost.

“Nintendo has made some tiny changes to score 0.3, since being the first company to score 0 when added last November… Nintendo remains the odd one out of the 18 companies in the Guide, without any public time lines to eliminate the worst toxic chemicals or a global recycling policy for the millions of products it sells every year. If Nintendo has better policies why not make them public like the other 17 companies in the Guide?”

For those who can’t help but want to compare, Sony remained at a 7.3/10 rating (though the PlayStation division shows no green innovation), while Microsoft rose from a 2.7 to a 4.7/10 rating.

    I find it seriously difficult to believe that simply not wishing to disclose such policies merits such a low ranking

    Well it works to pressure them to reveal their policies. I really hope Nintendo cleans up their act, or reveals that their act is clean.
