Very interesting report, and kind of funny that Chevron (traditional old-line company) gets and A and Google (hip new company) gets and F. Too bad Dell isn’t based in California. I’d expect it to get an A simply because it has been doing this since 1998. Check out the report here: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/en/resources?c=us&l=en&s=corp&~tab=1

IS THIS THE SAME CHEVRON THAT SPENT MILLIONS IN 2006 TO DEFEAT THE CALIFORNIA BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED BIG OIL TO BUILD ALTERNATIVE FUELING STATIONS? OBVIOUSLY, THE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND FACULTY THAT COMPILED THE REPORT CONVENIENTLY FORGOT THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FACT AND INSTEAD BOUGHT INTO CHEVRON’S “GREEN WASHING” TACTIC.

It’s sort of comparing apples and oranges isn’t it to compare companies like Chevron and Applied Materials to companies like Verisign and Google. The first two have huge environmental issues while the latter two do not. How do you come to conclusions like this?
