One should be commenting on the sincerity and merits of the effort and not on financial or other standings…..if it helps India…why not? One should not be much concerned with “other” products manufactured in “other” countries… to each his own…

Hey !!! Take a break . I suppose if someone else comments on this post it will be enough to start virtual WWIII ….. This Greenpeace’s green gadget guide is to value those who are taking strong steps to make the environment green not red by making useless comments on some country or company…

Dear Khurt,

Its not your fault that you are not aware of Wipro’s products; it’s your ignorance speaking!! I’ll take it as “ignorance is bliss” (for you)!! :-)

His comment is based on the context of this article: “Greenpeace’s Guide to Greener Electronics looks at environmental conditions for electronics manufacturers”.

WiPro may be a large company bu tit’s no giant in electronic manufacturing.

I feel the same way. I can’t name a single WiPro product and your comment about smaller and possibly more environmentally friend startups is spot on.

Hello A S,

Is it really a requirement for the green Greenpeace recognition to be a giant like HP, Dell or Apple? I do consider it as a “Yes” from your side.

I would request you to understand that the “giants” that you are speaking of; do not have inhouse manufacturing skills or that the cost of manufacturing inhouse is too high, hence almost everything is outsourced to countries like China or Thailand, where green / environmental aspect is not much considered.

Please understand that there are many aspects to this recognition that “Goliaths (read HP, Dell or Apple) has already started to take cues from “David (read Wipro”. ;-)

Hello Ozie,

It is indeed a very valid observation that you have made on how an average person in India live (not “leaves” ;-)). And that is pretty imperative from people like you who actually do not have a clue of what is happening socio-economically in the rest of the world other than US/EU or might be in Australia!!

First, let’s understand economy in US/EU or for that matter even in Auz is pretty much in shambles. Unemployed people in these countries live at the cost of others who are paying taxes and huge government subsidies. Nevertheless, you might not be even aware of this.

Second, this recognition is nothing to do with how an average person in India lives!! It is how well the company is handling the “green effect” of porducts being manufactured!! You should be well aware that most (if not all) the US companies names here (HP, Dell or Apple) get their products manufactured in either China or Thailand where green aspects are not much looked in to; hence this recognition has gone to an Indian organization than to an American company. Please get this straight before commenting.

It is indeed an achievement by Wipro and organizations like Dell, HP or Apple should learn from it. Top executives from these organizations do take these as learnings, while others comment irrelevant. Pretty interesting!!
