“Nintendo fully complies with all the applicable laws and regulations aimed at environmental protection and consumer health and safety. Furthermore, in order to ensure our products are safe for use by young children, Nintendo products are classified as toys and therefore comply with stringent safety standards applicable to toys. Nintendo has not been badly rated by Greenpeace. Greenpeace chose to conduct a survey which graded companies based on the voluntary submission of information. Nintendo decided not to take part in the survey and were therefore ‘ungraded’. Nintendo provides detailed information regarding its compliance to environmental laws and directives via the Consumer Information section of the Nintendo website and therefore felt it unnecessary to take part in the Greenpeace survey.” - Nintendo statement

That’s all well and good, but I just can’t understand why Nintendo wouldn’t bother to include themselves in the survey, but they don’t mind going out of their way to refute the accusations from Greenpeace.
