In which areas does Admiral perform well?

Admiral performs well in the Carbon Disclosure & Reduction Targets category, as it discloses its carbon emissions and has committed to reducing them in the future.

The above benchmark score that Admiral is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Insurance Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria. Find out more about how we rate.

What can Admiral do to improve its ethical score?

Admiral was award a bottom rating for our criteria concerning its Responsible Investment Policy, as the list of published exclusions to investment revenue does not cover some crucial areas, such as exclusions around controversial weapons. Admiral must tighten up its exclusions in order to attain a better rating in the future.

If it applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this to enable Admiral to improve its score. If successful in its application, Admiral would join the certified ethical brands leading the way in progressive and sustainable practices and be permitted to display The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Mark in its communications.
