What can Weleda do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Weleda is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Soap & Shower Gel Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

Weleda’s score could be improved through introducing a more detailed Sustainability Report, which would increase the company’s rating in the Environmental Report criterion to a top rating.

As Weleda already receives a high score in the Ethical Soap & Shower Gel sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Weleda will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide ethical mark.

We also encourage Weleda to gain Vegetarian certification for its soap products in order to improve its score. If Weleda applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
