I'm always really interested in hearing about the ethical (or not so) behaviour of companies, especially ones that I buy products from, and so this year I have invested a mere £19.50 in subscribing to ethiscore.org so I can support companies who are making an effort and boycott companies that are obviously taking the mick!!
so here's how it works....
The score is a calculation based on a company's rating in each of Ethical Consumer's 23 main ethical categories, you can find them here: http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/ratings/categoriesA4.pdf
generally they are based on: The Environment, People, Animals, Politics, Product Sustainability.
So what shall we start with..... anyone for coffee?
Well, if it's Clipper Organic Fairtrade it gets a whacking 16.5 out of 20 ethical rating...... and if it's Nescafe Instant its a hideous 0.5 out of 20!! (not suprising really when you read what Nestle are up to http://www.babymilkaction.org/resources/boycott/nestlefree.html
Mine's white, half a sugar and a clear conscience then! What's yours?
