AEG

Is AEG an eco-friendly fridge and freezer brand? 

Unfortunately, AEG is a below-benchmark fridge and freezer brand and has a low score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Fridges and Freezers Ethical Ratings Table.

Due to its low score, AEG is not yet eligible for Ethical Accreditation. However, The Good Shopping Guide still suggests that AEG gets in touch with us to apply. When we receive its application, The Good Shopping Guide will provide AEG with some personalised advice on how it can improve its score.

Would you like to see how AEG compares against other brands within the Ethical Fridges and Freezers sector? Visit the Fridges and Freezers Ethical Ratings Table. The Good Shopping Guide’s Ratings Table can teach you more about the criteria that our bottom-rated brands have fulfilled to meet our minimum ethical benchmark.

All brands are encouraged by The Good Shopping Guide to begin adopting more ethical and sustainable policies like our top-rated brands.

Does AEG have an Environmental Report?

Electrolux, AEG’s parent brand has a recent Sustainability Report that awards it with a top score.

The report contains evidence of progress, as well as targets for 2025. These targets include a reduction in CO2 emissions, water consumption and energy.

Why does AEG have a middle rating for Human Rights? 

Within its Code of Conduct, Electrolux has a Human Rights section. Unfortunately, the information is quite vague and lacks specific details regarding maximum working hours and age restrictions for child labour.

Because of this, AEG receives a middle rating for this category.

What can AEG do to improve its score? 

AEG’s below-benchmark score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Fridges and Freezers Ethical Ratings Table is the outcome of a consideration of a variety of criteria.

Even though it currently has a low score in the Ethical Fridges and Freezers sector, The Good Shopping Guide still suggests that AEG contacts us to apply for Ethical Accreditation. After receiving its application, The Good Shopping Guide will offer AEG some advice on how it can improve its score.

Are you curious about how obtaining Ethical Accreditation could be beneficial for your brand?
