What does Huawei receive a bottom score for?
Unfortunately, Huawei has some bottom scores to work on including its bottom score for The Good Shopping Guide’s Environmental Report category. Huawei Technologies Co has a recent Sustainability Report which contains an Environmental Protection section. The report discusses carbon emissions, energy consumption and renewable energy. However, there are no sustainability targets which is why Huawei receives a bottom score.
Huawei also receives a bottom score for our Eco Label category as none could be found.
What can Huawei do to improve its Ethical Score?
Huawei’s low score within The Good Shopping Guide is the result of the consideration of multiple ethical criteria. If Huawei were to improve upon its bottom scores for its Environmental Report and lack of Eco Labels, it could see its position rise on the Ethical PCs, Laptops and Tablets Ratings Table.
Even though it has a below benchmark score, The Good Shopping Guide still encourages Huawei to apply for Ethical Accreditation so that we can offer it some guidance on how to improve and become one of our best pension providers.
