In which areas does Auro perform well?
Auro performs well across all of our criteria, but we were particularly impressed with the brand’s use of natural ingredients. The brand gets a top score for our Environmental Report and Toxic Chemicals Policy criteria.
The above benchmark score that Auro is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Paint Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.
What can Auro do to improve its ethical score?
Auro is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Auro 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.
