===Greenpeace ranking===
In [[Greenpeace]]'s 2012 Guide to Greener Electronics that ranks electronics manufacturers on sustainability, [[climate and energy]] and how green their products are, Philips ranked 10th of 16 companies with a score of 3.8/10.<ref name="Greenpeace Guide">{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/how-the-companies-line-up/ |title=Guide to Greener Electronics |website=Greenpeace International |access-date=24 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121129032858/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/how-the-companies-line-up/ |archive-date=29 November 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> The company was the top scorer in the Energy section due to its energy advocacy work calling upon the EU to adopt a 30% reduction for [[greenhouse gas emissions]] by 2020. It was also praised for its new products which are free from [[Polyvinyl chloride|PVC]] plastic and [[Brominated flame retardant|BFRs]]. However, the guide criticized Philips' sourcing of [[Pulp and paper industry|fibres for paper]], arguing it must develop a paper procurement policy which excludes suppliers involved in [[deforestation]] and [[illegal logging]].<ref name="Greenpeace Guide" />

Philips has made progress since 2007 (when it was first ranked in the guide started in 2006), in particular by supporting the Individual Producer Responsibility principle meaning that the company is accepting the responsibility for the toxic impacts of its products on e-waste dumps around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/Guide-to-Greener-Electronics/companies/Philips/|title=Philips Greenpeace International|website =Greenpeace International|access-date=7 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101031133232/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/Guide-to-Greener-Electronics/companies/Philips/|archive-date=31 October 2010}}</ref>
