Sony Ericsson maintains its position near the top of the ranking and gains points for committing to a timeline for substituting polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It also scores well for having products on the market that are free from the worst chemicals. In contrast, Sony Ericsson loses points for making no reference to supporting the Precautionary Principle or Individual Producer Responsibility, and for failing to report on the amounts of discarded mobile phones it takes back and recycles.
