Hoover

Is Hoover an ethical cooker brand?

Owned by Haier Group Corporation, a Chinese home appliances company, Hoover is a below-benchmark brand within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Cookers sector. As a result of its low score, Hoover cannot yet be classed as an ethical brand.

Despite its low rating, The Good Shopping Guide still encourages Hoover to apply for Ethical Accreditation. After receiving its application, we would provide Hoover with an ethics and sustainability assessment and some advice on how to become one of the best cooker brands on our Cookers: Ethical Comparison Ratings Table, and earn our Ethical Mark

The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow in the footsteps of our top-rated brands and introduce more sustainable policies.

What categories does Hoover receive a high score for?

Due to its lack of negative records, Hoover receives a top score for our Animal Welfare, Armaments and Nuclear Power ethical research categories.

Why does Hoover receive a bottom rating for its Code of Conduct?

Within its most recent ESG Report, Haier, Hoover’s parent company, mentions child labour and human rights. However, no official Code of Conduct can be found and the information in its ESG report is vague.

As a result, Hoover receives a bottom score for this category.

What can Hoover do to improve its score? 

Hoover’s below-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Cookers sector is the outcome of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As it has a low score on the Cookers Ethical Ratings Table we recommend that Hoover get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation.

After getting in touch with us, Hoover would receive some advice on how to improve upon its bottom scores and become a more ethical oven brand.
