Apple & Climate Change.. part deux!

Morning (just) all.. My first post on the-iBlog - so be nice!

Apple were awarded last place in a recent survey which ranked computer companies on their ‘climate friendliness’.

Scores were assessed on the basis of what targets each company had declared for its emissions reductions efforts, climate impact and energy use policies. Scores were also given for “transparency” in reporting emissions and other environmental impacts.

Apple scored badly because (according to ClimateChange) it has not completed an inventory of the greenhouse gases it produces, has no clear goal for emissions reductions, and it hasn’t done enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Apple scored 11 out of 100, with IBM, Toshiba and Canon coming in pole position, second and third with respective scores of 77, 74 and 70.

We wait with baited breath to see what Mr Jobs makes of this…
