What can Budget Energy do to improve its score?

Budget Energy is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Budget Energy 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.

We also recommend that Budget Energy works on improving its rating in the Environmental Report category, as it currently only receives a middle rating.
