What does Elephant do?

Elephant is an insurance company founded in 2009 and owned by Admiral Group. Parent company Admiral Group UK started in 1991 as a division of the Brockbank Group before being purchased by Barclays Private Equity in 1999 and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 2004.

In which areas does Elephant perform well?

Elephant performs well in the Political Donations category, as neither Elephant nor its parent company, Admiral, has been found to have made any donations to political parties or candidates in the past 5 years.

The above benchmark score that Elephant 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 Elephant do to improve its ethical score?

Elephant was only given a middle rating for its Environmental Report, as there is little in the way of other information on Admiral’s sustainability goals in its Sustainability Report. We would encourage Elephant to introduce further environmental targets, in order to effectively demonstrate its commitment to improving its environmental footprint and improve its GSG score overall.

If it applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this to enable Elephant to improve its score. If successful in its application, Elephant 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.
