There’s a wide disparity between best and worst performers on CSR standards in the UK, according to the latest edition of The Good Shopping Guide, which rates products from banks to washing machines and chocolate bars on their ethical performance.
Against the criteria of the guide, which is based on a wide range of considerations including animal welfare, carbon emissions, fair trade and human rights abuses, the research shows the top 50 companies score between 86 and 100, compared to the worst performing companies achieving scores as low as five.
The worst performers identified included Esso, Horlicks, General Electric, Chevron, and Procter and Gamble. The most ethical companies are mainly small, but include some bigger names such as Triodos Bank, the retail outfits Monsoon and B&Q, Casio and Premier Foods.
The eighth edition of the book rates more than 700 consumer brands in seven product sectors: home and office, energy, travel, money, food and drink, health and beauty, and fashion. It is produced by The Ethical Company Organisation a UK-based limited company.
