Our Manifesto

In our work at Ethical Consumer we come across a wealth of initiatives and ideas from campaign groups, think tanks, governments, industry and individuals that would, if implemented, push us a little nearer to the ethics-based society we'd like to live in. Sometimes, in our reports, we make our own policy recommendations or call for a particular practice to be encouraged or eliminated.

In September 2001, for the UK Labour Government's second term of office, we collected some of these demands and proposals into the Ethical Consumer Manifesto for Change.

After ten years of Labour government, and with Tony Blair handing over power, we took a look at which recommendations made it into policy, which areas had progressed and which areas had seen no movement - the Ethical Consumer Manifesto Six Years On.
