企業的綠色責任—Nokia名列綠色電子產品評比第一名


(產品愈在綠色區塊表示愈環保,愈偏紅色區塊就愈不環保。)

電腦、電視、手機已經是現代人生活不可或缺的物品,其製造量與流通量是無法想像的。而在大量製造與大量消費的同時,因為製程與材料都用了有毒物質,造成整個地球的環境愈來愈不健康,生活在其中的人類就深受其害,只是絕大多數的人都不知道這個危機。

這一篇不是廣告,更不是專為Nokia打廣告,只要是為保護環境盡心盡力的業者,我都會鼓勵,都希望他們賺錢,因為他們賺的是環境良心錢。而只知賺錢卻對地球與人類有害的廠商(如目前不環保的夏普、微軟與任天堂),就儘量不買他們的產品。

宏碁(ACER)是唯一與各國大廠一同評比的台灣廠商,大都落在橙黃區間(但2008表現遜於2007),改善空間還很大,宏碁加油!(而華碩ASUS在哪裡?)

國際綠色和平組織自2006年八月起,每季公布一次綠色電子產品排行,以「不用有毒物質」(Toxic-free)、「節能效率」(Energy-efficient )及「資源回收利用」(Responsibly recycled )為指標,要求電子產品製造商可以做到1.製程與產品皆不含有毒物質(clean up their products by eliminating hazardous substances)、2.回收與再利用廢棄產品(takeback and recycle their products responsibly once they become obsolete.)、3.減輕其營運及生產對大氣環境的影響(Reduce the climate impacts of their operations and products),由此評比各大國際電子廠商之手機、電腦、電視及電視遊樂器等之製程與產品,希望藉此促使製造商重視環保及能源效率,延長商品生命週期與減少電子廢棄物,並對減緩地球氣候變遷有所貢獻。2008九月結果(評比第九版)英文版請看Nokia tops latest Greener Electronics Guide https://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/guide-greener-electronics-9-edition-160908

Nokia在前面幾季表現並不好,卻在這期一舉大幅領先各廠商,表示該公司確已將善盡企業環境責任列為優先工作,並有長足進展。

身為消費者的我們具有改變企業運作這個世界的方式,只要您不再沈默,願意對該議題表達出您關心之意,並以消費力展現監督企業的決心,而非一再以無奈的態度任由企業宰制整個世界,最後只能默默忍受這一切所帶來的危害與衝擊,這不會是您我想要的,這也不該是我們留給子孫的負債!從現在起,我們都可以貢獻一份改變世界的力量,只要你願意!

企業的綠色責任—諾基亞(Nokia)名列綠色和平2008綠色電子產品指南第一名

Greenpeace Ranks Nokia at Top of Electronics Guide

張顧獻翻譯

綠色和平最近發表綠色電子產品指南(季報)第九版,諾基亞(Nokia)名列第一,超越其他知名製造商如三星(Samsung)及任天堂(Nintendo)。Nokia在滿分為十分的情況下獲得七分的高評價,主要是該公司在印度力行回收工作,且積極減少有毒化學物質之使用,例如外殼或模具不含PVC(polyvinyl chloride, 聚氯乙烯),並致力於2009年底前新機種皆不含溴化阻燃劑及三氧化銻。

Greenpeace recently released the ninth edition of its annual Guide to Greener Electronics, ranking Nokia first above other well-known manufacturers such as Samsung and Nintendo.Nokia scored seven out of ten possible points, scoring highly because of its improved take-back practices in India, toxic chemical issues, utilizing models free of PVC and aiming to have all new models free of brominated flame retardants and antimony trioxide by the end of 2009.

三星排名第二(5.7分),獲得高分是由於其產品在節能方面表現突出。該公司在採用回收性塑料方面也同樣獲得高分,雖然其中僅含約0.2%的廢棄塑料,但整體使用比例已達16%,不過,該公司仍希望在2008年底可達到25%的目標。

Samsung ranked second, due to its high scores in the energy-efficiency of its products. It also scores well on its use of recycled plastic, at 16.1 percent, though only 0.2 percent is post-consumer plastic, with a goal to increase to 25 percent by 2008.

排名墊底者,微軟(Microsoft)是第17名(倒數第二名),得分僅2.2分,主要是因為該公司在自發回收及回收利用方案方面表現不佳。任天堂得分僅0.8分,敬陪末座是因為該公司在電子廢棄物評分項目獲得零分,並在回收利用及自發回收方案上表現不盡理想,而該公司產品使用再生塑料的比例也偏低。

At the bottom of the list, Microsoft ranked 17 and scored 2.2 points for its poor ranking in voluntary take-back and recycling programs, among other items. Nintendo scored only 0.8 points, ranking last mainly due to scoring zero points on e-waste criteria and also ranking poorly on recycling, voluntary take-back programs the use of recycled plastics in its products.
