The World’s governments will be discussing a global deal on emission cuts this December in Poznan Poland, (concluding in Copenhagen end of 2009). Greenpeace is stepping up and asking electronic companies to show climate leadership in two vital areas. First, giving their support to the levels of global emission cuts we need to tackle climate change and second, by showing it can be done by making cuts in their own emissions.

Greenpeace Guide

The latest edition of Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics has revealed that very few firms are showing true climate leadership. Although many companies like Dell, Microsoft, Lenovo, LG, Samsung and Apple claim to be green, they’re failing to meet the necessary levels of emission cuts required to tackle climate change.

Of the 18 leading companies comprised in the guide, only Sharp, Fujitsu, Siemens and Philips show full support for the necessary cuts of 30 percent for industrial nations by 2020.
