Ethical Consumer has been helping people challenge corporate power since 1989. 

 

We are the UK's leading alternative consumer organisation, uncovering the truth behind the brand names and supporting the growth of the ethical market.

  • Ethical Consumer is a not-for-profit, multi-stakeholder co-operative, dedicated to the promotion of universal human rights, environmental sustainability and animal welfare.
  • We produce independent research into the social and environmental records of companies, and to inform the development of ethical consumerism.
  • Our funding comes entirely from our readers' subscriptions, adverts from ethically vetted companies and consultancy work for campaign groups and ethical organisations.
