What can Almond Breeze do to improve its score? 

The score that Almond Breeze receives in The Good Shopping Guide is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. We would like to see Almond Breeze improve upon its bottom score for Public Donations and Organic. In doing this, it could see its score rise on the Ethical Vegan Milk Ratings Table and become one of our top rated brands in the Ethical Vegan Milk sector.
