Nintendo have issued a statement in response to the score of zero it received from Greenpeace’s “Guide to Greener Electronics.” Nintendo believe the low score is completely unwarranted, citing its “Green Procurement Standards” and compliance with worldwide regulations. Surprisingly they do not mention their Recycling program or the Wii’s low power consumption in their rebuttal. Check after the jump for Nintendo’s statement.

“Nintendo is surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report.

Nintendo takes great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling of materials etc. For example, all Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards.

In order to certify that Nintendo products comply with standards for hazardous chemical substances, Nintendo has established the Green Procurement Standards, which require our component suppliers certify that any parts including hazardous chemical substances should not be delivered, and Nintendo fully controls its products in the company.

Nintendo is always actively looking at ways to continue to increase its environmental stewardship and holds this as a corporate priority worldwide.”
