Start 2022 as you mean to go on with Ethical Consumer

Welcome to Ethical Consumer

What’s your aim for 2022? Will you be reducing the amount of clothes you buy? Trying to shop pre-loved? Or perhaps even going vegan?

Whatever your ethical New Year’s resolution we’ve got all the info you need.

As the environmental crisis grows, we need to make more conscious choices about what we buy.

On our site you’ll find all the information you need to make greener, more sustainable choices, based on detailed research of over 40,000 companies, brands and products.

The data is fed into 125+ ethical shopping guides covering everything from bread to banks.

For 30 years we’ve been at the heart of the ethical consumer movement, helping shoppers like you make informed and effective decisions.

Our mission is to make global businesses more sustainable through consumer pressure and we hope that you’ll join us on that journey.
