Sony Ericsson stays in 3rd place with an increased score of 6.5, up from 5.7, with improvements on its performance on energy issues. It scores well on the toxic chemicals and energy criteria, but poorly on all e-waste issues. For more points on e-waste, it needs to increase its lobbying for IPR, continue to extend its take-back and recycling programmes, provide information on its take-back programme for more of its customers and use recycled plastic across all its products – not just a few models.
