From combatting human rights abuses to protecting animal rights, boycotts exert economic pressure on some of the biggest companies to change their practices. They have seen repeated successes and played an important role in ethical consumption since the movement to boycott South African products during the Apartheid in the 1980s.
The boycotts on this list are led by over a dozen organisations, including the BDS movement (which campaigns against Israeli apartheid), Peta (targeting animal exploitation), and our own campaign against Amazon's prolific tax avoidance.
Inclusion in the list does not necessarily mean endorsement by Ethical Consumer. If you would like to suggest a boycott for inclusion please contact us.
