FSC drops two places from 8th position to 10th in the ranking. The company has a good position on the Precautionary Principle and sells PCs which do not use brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in several major components. Despite this, it has not yet set timelines for the complete phase out of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and all BFRs in all of its products.
FSC scores top marks for its policy on Individual Producer Responsibility and scores well for the coverage of its take-back and recycling program; it is also reporting the quantities of e-waste recycled as a percentage of past sales, but loses a point as this is for e-waste collected only in Germany.
