What can Gym King do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Gym King is awarded with on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Activewear Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Gym King already receives a top score in the Ethical Activewear sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Gym King will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide ethical mark.

However, Gym King scores poorly for our Code of Conduct criterion, due to a lack of availability. It could improve its score by publishing a robust Code of Conduct. If it applies for Ethical Accreditation then The Good Shopping Guide will be able to offer Gym King some guidance on this.
