Wipro, HP top Greenpeace list of green electronics companies

November 19, 2012

Indian technology company Wipro cracked into the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics at the No. 1 spot, a memorable feat that knocked off last year's top dog HP. Apple took a hit in the rankings. Image from Greenpeace Guide Wipro scored 7.1 out of a possible 10 points in the guide that ranks global electronics companies based on their commitment and progress in energy and climate, greener products and sustainable operations. HP finished second with 5.7 points. Greenpeace, an environmental advocacy group, attributed Wipro's hefty score to its efforts to embrace renewable energy and support of green energy policies in India. The company also got high marks for post-consumer electronic waste collection for recycling and for phasing out hazardous substances from its products. "Wipro has set a new benchmark for sustainability, not only in India but across the globe, that will have a long-term impact in shaping the green energy debate in the electronics industry," Greenpeace India Senior Campaigner Aphishek Pratap said in a statement.
