In which categories do Animal Friends receive a bottom score?

Unfortunately, in order to meet our minimum ethical benchmark, Animal Friends has some bottom scores that it needs to work on. Animal Friends receives a bottom score for its Environmental Report as it only has a brief ‘About Us’ page, which lacks sustainability targets or any evidence of commitment to environmental progress.

Animal Friends also receives a bottom score for Political Donations, as its ultimate parent company, JAB Holding Co, has donated thousands of dollars in recent U.S. election cycles.

What can Animal Friends do to improve its score? 

Animal Friends’ below-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

By working on its bottom scores in the Environmental Report and Political Donations categories, as well as other low-scoring areas, Animal Friends could see its place rise on the Ethical Insurance Ratings Table.
