In which areas does COAT perform well?
COAT performs across most of our criteria, but we were especially impressed with its Environmental Report and the lengths to which it is going to be sustainable, as well as its Toxic Chemicals Policy and Animal Welfare statement.
The above benchmark score that COAT is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Paint Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.
What can COAT do to improve its ethical score?
COAT is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, COAT 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.
