All brands are encouraged by The Good Shopping Guide to follow the example set by our Ethically Accredited brands and introduce more sustainable policies before applying for Ethical Accreditation.

What does Tanqueray receive a top rating for?

Due to its lack of negative records, Tanqueray receives a top rating for the Armaments, Animal Welfare and Fossil Fuels categories.

Is Tanqueray gin organic?

Unfortunately, Tanqueray products are not organic. Diageo, Tanqueray’s parent company does not produce any organic products, nor has it received certification.

As a result, Tanqueray revives a bottom score for The Good Shopping Guide’s Organic category.

What can Tanqueray do to improve its score? 

Tanqueray’s below-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Spirits sector is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

Tanqueray’s parent company, Diageo, should significantly reduce or better yet cancel its political donations to stop impacting democracy and achieve a higher score.
