What can Coconut Merchant do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Coconut Merchant is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Sugar Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Coconut Merchant already receives a top score in the Ethical Sugar sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Coconut Merchant will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide ethical mark.

However we would encourage Coconut Merchant to improve on the detail in its Environmental Report, for which it currently receives only a middle rating, in order to improve its score for these criteria. If Coconut Merchant applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
