Ethical Consumer rates 29 Car Brands

Ethical Consumer has released a new report on the social and environmental records of 29 car brands. With so much of the press about cars concentrating on emissions of individual vehicles little attention is paid to car manufacturers' impact on human rights, or even overall environmental performance. Peugeot Citroen and Proton emerge as the top companies for corporate responsibility. Each gains an 'ethiscore' of 8.5, rated on social, ethical and environmental performance.... By contrast Toyota, regularly lauded in green circles..., scored a poor 3.5, third from the bottom of the rating table. [also refers to VW (Volkswagen)]
