Who else uses Ethical Consumer?

Ethical Consumer is used by thousands of conscientious consumers making purchasing decisions, ethical businesses who want to check their supply chain, and is the trusted source of information for many organisations:

What's unique about Ethical Consumer?

We are a completely independent not-for-profit co-operative and since 1989 have been the leading research organisation in the consumer movement. 

Our mission is to help consumers make informed ethical choices, support campaigners challenging corporate power, enable progressive businesses and charities to check their supply chains, and drive corporates to improve their behaviour. 

We provide transparent and reliable ethical rankings for thousands of companies and products, all fed from our main database which has been built up over 20 years.

We rank companies and products according to 300 topics in 19 areas under 5 main categories. As a subscriber you can choose to personalise the scorecard ratings you see according to these different areas, depending on what is of most relevance to you. Your settings are saved in your profile and can be chaned at any time using the sliders on product or company guide pages.

How good is our data?

In 2011, as part of a potential joint venture with BBC Worldwide, our data was thoroughly stress-tested and passed by the research team from Panorama. 

Some other shopping guides claim to provide similar ratings to ours, but these lack our depth, academic rigour, independence and transparency, and barely scratch the surface of what's really going on.

The few that do carry similar data to Ethical Consumer are designed primarily for investment funds and cost £000's per year to access.

Do you have any special offers for Schools?

Yes, we offer a couple of options.

If you wish to make the website available to all the users on a school or educational network, we can do so with access restricted by IP address rather than password. This will allow up to 200 simultaneous logins. The cost is currently £85 +VAT (£99.88 in total).

If you want separate password log-ins, which allows customised settings, we offer 30 subscriptions for £300 +VAT - a saving of £600. Please email us  or phone 0161 226 2929 for more information or to subscribe to this service.

Can I get the information you cover elsewhere?

Much of it yes, if you want to spend many hours doing your own research and keeping it up to date. We collect information from NGOs and campaign groups, government data, specialist periodicals, company Annual Reports and similar sources. You would also miss out on the analysis and context ECRA brings, the conveniently stored ratings and other tools.

There are also organisations that claim to provide similar ratings to ours for free, but these lack our depth, academic rigour, independence and transparency, and barely scratch the surface of what's really going on. The few that do carry simailar data to Ethical Consumer are designed primarily for investment funds and cost £1000s per year to access.

Will I use my subscription?

Our stats and feedback show that over 90% of web subscribers visit the site at least once a month, and the large majority of our subscribers regularly use Ethical Consumer to help them make purchasing decisions.

Even if you don't, you'll still be doing something with your subscription - helping all this to happen!
