What's in the Magazine
Buyers' Guides
From banks to baked beans, each issue has the very latest guides to buying ethically, 6 months earlier than they would appear on this site.
Detailed ratings tables compare the social and environmental impacts of a brand and the records of the companies behind them.
Plus, buyers' guides usually contain price comparison information so you can compare brands on price as well as ethics.
Brands are rated using 23 criticism categories including climate change, animal testing, workers' rights and genetic engineering. We also recommend Best Buys for each product.
