Centrum

Is Centrum an ethical vitamin and supplement brand?

It includes links to various different environmental and sustainability pages such as biodiversity, water and climate. These pages contain targets, as well as how GSK plans to meet them.

Centrum also receives a top rating for our Organic category as it produces USDA-certified organic vitamins.

Why does Centrum receive a bottom rating for Political Donations?

Within recent election cycles, GSK has donated over $1.5 million. As this is above our threshold for a top or middle rating, Centrum receives a bottom score.
