===Guide to Greener Electronics===

In August 2006, Greenpeace released the first edition of Guide to Greener Electronics, a magazine where mobile and PC manufacturers were ranked for their green performance, mainly based on the use of toxic materials in their products and [[electronic waste|e-waste]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.greenpeace.org/international/Global/international/planet-2/report/2007/12/greener-electronics-guide.pdf|title = Guide to Greener Electronics|date = August 2006|access-date = 18 November 2015|publisher = Greenpeace|archive-date = 5 March 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160305211204/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/Global/international/planet-2/report/2007/12/greener-electronics-guide.pdf|url-status = live}}</ref> In November 2011, the criteria were updated, as the industry had progressed since 2006, with the objective to get companies to set goals for greenhouse gas reduction, the use of renewable power up to 100 percent, producing long-lasting products free of hazardous substances and increasing sustainable practices. To ensure the transparency of the ranking the companies are assessed based only on their public information. For proving companies' policies and practices, Greenpeace uses chemical testing of products, reports from industry observers, media reports and testing of consumer programs to check if they match with their actions. Since the Guide was released in 2006, along with other similar campaigns has driven numerous improvements, when companies ranked eliminate toxic chemicals from their products and improve their recycling schemes. The last published edition of Guide to Greener Electronics was in 2017. The 2017 version included 17 major IT companies and ranked them on three criteria: energy use, [[resource consumption]] and chemical elimination.<ref name=GreenpeaceElectronics2017>{{Cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/reports/greener-electronics-2017/ |title=Guide to Greener Electronics 2017 |publisher=Greenpeace USA |year=2017 |access-date=27 October 2017 |archive-date=27 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171027231435/http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/reports/greener-electronics-2017/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
