What does Sky receive a top rating for?

The Good Shopping Guide awards Sky with a top rating for our categories of Animal Welfare, Fossil Fuels and Nuclear Power due to a lack of negative records.

What can Sky do to improve its score? 

Sky’s below-benchmark score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Broadband Providers Ethical Ratings Table is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

In order to improve its score, particularly in our Human Rights sector, Sky’s parent company Comcast would need to cease its large donations to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians who seek to to restrict the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
