Bosch

How ethical and sustainable is Bosch? 

Bosch is included in The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Cookers Ethical Ratings Table. Bosch has yet to meet our Ethical Benchmark, but we hope that in the future, the brand will make the necessary changes to function as a more ethical organisation.

More information on the issues this industry faces may be found in The GOOD Shopping Guide to eco-friendly cooker brands.

Then, in our Cookers Ethical Ratings Table compare Bosch to other brands.

What does Bosch do?

Bosch began in 1898 as an automotive business, eventually branching out into other industries. The brand now has around 50 locations in the UK. Bosch produces a range of products as well as cookers; it also sells garden tools, heating and hot water products, power tools, smart home products and many other home appliances.

For which criteria does Bosch perform poorly?

Bosch received a low rating for Political Donations, as it has donated thousands of dollars in recent U.S. election cycles.

Additionally, due to links to the Fossil Fuels industry, Bosch receives a bottom rating for this category.

In what areas does Bosch score well for its ethics?

Bosch receives a high score in the Environmental Report category, as the company has published clear targets which reflect its commitment to improving its sustainability record.

How can Bosch improve its Ethical Rating?

The Ethical Rating of a brand is divided into three categories by The GOOD Shopping Guide: the Environment, People and Animals. Find out more about how we rate and research brands.

Bosch may improve its Ethical Rating and meet our fundamental Ethical Benchmark by ceasing all political donations and involvement in fossil fuels.
