SINGAPORE : China's top e-commerce platforms have made insufficient effort to steer consumers onto a more sustainable path that would help protect the environment and combat climate change, environment group Greenpeace said on Thursday.

In a report ranking the environmental record of six of China's e-commerce giants, Greenpeace said the discount online shopping platform Pinduoduo performed the worst, making"no progress whatsoever" on climate and environmental protection. The report also said that while video app operators Kuaishou and Douyin had both taken action, prohibited products were still available on their platforms as of late August. Neither Kuaishou nor Douyin owner Bytedance responded to requests for comment.
