How could ASUS rate higher on our Ethical PCs, Laptops and Tablets Ratings Table? 

Ethical Accreditation increases client trust in a brand and acts as a certification for businesses to show that they adhere to an ethical standard. ASUS might enhance its Ethical Rating score even more by addressing concerns regarding factories that operate under conditions that reflect forced labour, as well as dealing with ASUS’ recent evaluation by a consumer guide, which indicated that the brand may have employed tax evasion tactics as it received the worst rating.
