Dell is slowly slipping down the ranking; it loses its position at number 4 in the ranking to share joint 5th position, mainly because its score has not altered since the last ranking and it has therefore been overtaken by other companies.
The company has a strong definition of the precautionary principle, timelines of 2009 for substituting toxic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and explicit support for Individual Producer Responsibility. Dell has announced its intention to provide free take-back and recycling services globally to individual consumers wherever its products are sold. Dell loses points for having no models free from PVC and BFRs on the market.
