Ethical Consumer Opiniones 

Whether you are buying from a company that operates ethically is very difficult to evaluate. There are a lot of pros and cons to evaluate and this is where Ethical Consumer stands out. The points system by its very nature is not perfect but it is about as good as you can get with a lot of thought and experience in effect. I have been using it for many years to help my buying choices so I am not funding abhorent corporate practices.

We joined Ethical Consumer several years ago whilst trying to navigate the increasingly difficult task of living and buying more ethically.

The website is an amazing resource with guides on all sorts of things, such as food, household goods, financial products and energy companies. It explains why certain things are better than others for the environment and gives a tailored ethical score for each company based on what is most important to you.

We would strongly recommend the website for anyone who doesn't know where to start and who to believe when trying to live more ethically.

Always informative and fair. They explain why brands are marked as they are so you can decide it that is important to you. Shopping guides are usually where we start when buying something new. News and features bring to our attention things that we would probably not come across elsewhere.

We have been subscribers to Ethical Consumer for many years. When we do have to buy something I try to look up past issues or search EC's website for guidance. I think their product assessments are open and transparent so they provide a very reliable source for sound ethical decision making. The news items keep us up to date with boycotts and changes in the corporate world. These also informs our ethical buying. We have long invested ethically but if we need to change our portfolio EC is a fantastic resource for sound advice and ideas. Investing in Solar schools for example, has been both pleasing in being able to help but also financially rewarding. We are very happy to promote their work to friends and colleagues.

Their reviews tend to be very comprehensive with lots of factual information.

Excellent well researched reviews into a wide variety of products and the businesses that make them. They deal in facts to help you make your own decisions and provide helpful advice to aid your chosen course of action.

Straightforward no nonsense advice
I've used Ethical Consumer for years as a go-to guide. I find their ratings of companies helpful and insightful, and it's interesting - if scary - finding out who owns who.
I enjoy reading the magazine, but the website is also good as it allows sliding scales so you can choose your ethical 'preference' for a product, depending which aspect matters most to you.
Well worth the subscription.

Always the first place I go to check out a company or find the most ethical options for pretty much anything I need to buy, from butter or coffee to laptops or phone provider. Thank you Ethical Consumer.

I have found ethicalconsumer.org to be a really helpful, thorough and measured source. From learning how companies operate, how to choose where to spend money according to my own morals by changing settings on what a rating is based on, finding out more about how things are made and more. They look into production of things as well as which companies made them, which is also really helpful and usuallyenlightening. When I am going to buy anything I haven't before, I always check the website. I also enjoy the magazine that comes out every month, full og great articles, information and updates.

A magazine which provides an ethical perspective regarding social, environmental and global justice issues and businesses practice and crime.

Ethical Consumer provides an excellent service in helping me to choose those companies i want to buy from and those i don't, based on their ethical (or un-ethical) business practices

For me, Ethical Consumer is the go-to place for findinsg out before I buy products or support companies. Very reassuring.

I've been using Ethical Consumer for many years now to get information on products, manufacturers, retailers etc regarding their ethical practices. I also receive their monthly magazine which is very helpful in providing in-depth reviews. I have found the information very useful indeed in helping me make consumer decisions based on ethical issues.

Useful and trustworthy analysis and advice from Ethical Consumer, as always

A wealth of information, from which banks are least evil, to which supermarket has the best environmental policies! Easily worth the subscription. Helping you to make informed choices, give commendable companies your business and £, hopefully making the world a slightly better place. Surely what it's all about. Highly recommended.

The ethical and environmental impact of what I buy is really important to me. The shopping guides are excellent, giving an overall rating for companies.. but even better, that is broken down by category so you can check the aspects most important to you. The tables are easy to read and the different issues are discussed and explained in the text of the report. I can make an informed choice which is just brilliant!

Really accessible resource for anyone keen to make more sustainable shopping choices.
The product guides are great as you can customise them according to your personal priorities – sustainability, animal welfare, politics etc.
Deep dive into company profiles, before you commit to supporting brands. I also enjoy reading the news on consumer campaigns, always a great read.

I've been a subscriber of Ethical Consumer for over ten years and consistently return to it for its comprehensive, detailed analysis and advice. It represents great value for me and with the combination of the magazine and the website I feel so much better informed about the companies I buy from (and those I should avoid).

Ethical consumer is a real blessing for anybody that desires to make well informed and ethical purchases. It can be a real minefield trawling through the ethics of various companies in order to make good choices but ethical consumer does this for you and will find out the things you didn't even know you needed to find out! Its easy to use scoring tables combined with well researched and considerate reporting means you can make decisions knowing that you have the best information at your disposal. I have subscribed for several years and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
