What makes No.3 a sustainable brand?
Berry Bros & Rudd (BB&R), No.3’s parent company has a recent Sustainability Report containing environmental information about the company’s glass sustainability and renewable energy with a net zero target for 2030.
What scores do No.3 need to work on?
Unfortunately, No.3 receives a bottom score for our Organic category due to its lack of certification. We hope that in the future that No.3 can work on this low rating and introduce some organic-certified products.
What can No.3 do to improve its score further?
No.3’s above-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Spirits sector is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.
Given its score, the only thing left for No.3 to do now is to apply for Ethical Accreditation so that we can award it with our Ethical Mark. However, we would first offer No.3 some advice on how to achieve a top score in all of our categories.
Your Spirits brand could benefit from Ethical Accreditation. Our certified brands are able to proudly display our logo which demonstrates to consumers that shopping with its company is a sustainable choice to make.
