What can Brothers do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Brothers is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Beer, Lager & Cider Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria. As Brothers already receives a top score in the Ethical Beer, Lager & Cider sector, we encourage it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation, after which it will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide Ethical Mark.

However we would also encourage Brothers to gain Organic certification and add more detail to its Environmental Report in order to improve its score. If Brothers applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
