Apple worst among electronics peers in climate policy
BAD APPLE!!!
Apple has been ranked the worst among all major PC vendors and other large electronic firms in the fight against climate change.
Climate Counts this week released its second annual Company Scorecard hoping to create a “simple, easy-to-understand ranking of companies would motivate both companies and consumers to step-up their efforts on climate change.” Apple was ranked in last place among the list of 12 electronics companies, while companies such as IBM, Canon, Toshiba, Sony, and Hewlett-Packard were near the top of the electronics industry.
Top honor went to Nike, which passed last year’s high scorer, Canon, to become the top scored company among the 56 companies evaluated. Apple was the only electronic company to receive a “Stuck” designation, with a recommendation as a choice to “avoid for the climate-conscious consumer,” because the company has taken “meaningful action against climate change.”
