How ethical is Dualit?
Dualit is a British appliance brand which was founded by Max Gort-Barten in 1945, and is still independent and family-run. The brand’s first product was a cocktail shaker, and the second was the ‘Dual Light heater’ from which it takes its name.
Dualit has achieved an acceptable score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Kitchen Appliances Ratings Table but Ethical Accreditation has not yet been achieved. This is important because it provides additional warranty on the company’s wider ethical, sustainable, and social policies and records.
Read more about the issues facing the Ethical Kitchen Appliances sector and find out which companies have achieved accreditation for their commitment to being ethical and sustainable.
In which areas does Dualit perform well?
Dualit performs well for most of our criteria, but especially for its robust Code of Conduct.
The above benchmark score that Dualit is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Kitchen Appliances Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.
What can Dualit do to improve its ethical score?
Dualit is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Dualit 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.
To further increase its score, Dualit could add some targets to its ‘Our Ethos’ page, as it is currently awarded a bottom rating for its Environmental Report.
