What can Chang do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Chang 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 Chang 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 Chang to gain Organic and Vegetarian certification in order to improve its score. If Chang applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
