they rate you low if you dont supply them with certain information... pointless chart.

Not pointless if you frame it in an agenda. You don't give them their info, they rate you low, PR damage, you give them info. Clever enough, if Nintendo gave a damn.

If Nintendo don't want to have a bas press they just need to work harder. Give them the god darn numbers and finish with that if you are so clean and pure Nintendo.  

 

That's not the issue. The issue is, they are giving Nintendo terrible numbers BECAUSE they won't reveal their manufacturing techniques. Not because their products are actually environmentally harmful and not because their workforce negatively impacts the environment. If Greenpeace were to give articles pressing Nintendo to release their information without, I dunno...actually rating them, that would be totally different. Good on Nintendo for refusing to allow Greenpeace to bully them around. 

 


Yes I understand that. But the problem is that you have to penalyse companies that are beeing lazy cause the lack of information given means too many times the lack of effort. Greenpeace should tell why they are so low (which might be partly because of  the lack of info) tough. The thing is that companies are huge, citizens are small, so you have to find ways to put pressure on them. That the point of the low score. Nintendo score low because 1) They pollute to much   or    2) They fail to proove the opposit.

Also, people doing harsh comments about Greenpeace tend to forget that even if they are not perfect, they  are still doing somthing that the governement should do. Much of Greenpeace's fund raising is done by volontary means. They are trying to defend citizens' rights and futur generation's rights with social pressure and guess what? It is almost free cause is taxes free.
