What can Authentic Bread do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Authentic Bread is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Bread Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Authentic Bread already receives a top score in the Ethical Bread sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Authentic Bread will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide Ethical Mark.

However we would encourage Authentic Bread to publish an Environmental Report in order to improve its score. If Authentic Bread applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
