What's in the Magazine

Buyer's Guides

From banks to baked beans, each issue has several guides to buying ethically. Detailed ratings tables compare the social and environmental impacts of a brand and the records of the companies behind them.

All buyer's guides contain price comparison information so you can compare brands on price as well as ethics.

Brands are rated using 19 criticism categories including climate change, animal testing, worker's rights and genetic engineering. We also recommend Best Buys for each product.
