What can Swinton do to improve its ethical score?

Swinton receives a bottom rating in the Environmental Report category, due to the lack of sustainability targets and commitment to progress displayed by Swinton and its parent company. Swinton must improve this to attain a higher GSG score.

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