Ebico

How ethical is Ebico?

Ebico has achieved an acceptable score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Energy Suppliers 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 Energy Suppliers sector and find out which companies have achieved accreditation for their commitment to being ethical and sustainable.

What does Ebico do?

Ebico is a not-for-profit energy supplier whose mission is to provide ‘affordable and sustainable warmth for all’.

Ebico was formed in 1998 in the UK, and launched the EquiGas and EquiPower energy plans shortly thereafter, tariffs designed to benefit all customers equally regardless of payment type. When these tariffs became commercially unsustainable the company shifted to a new range of energy contracts that could continue their mission in a changing environment.

In which areas does Ebico perform well?

Ebico performs well for its Environmental Report as it is a not-for-profit supplier which uses renewable energy supplied by Octopus. Ebico also gets a top score for Energy Mix which is 100% renewable, and Nuclear Power as it has no involvement in this industry.

We found no criticisms of Ebico relating to Pollution, Animal Welfare, Armaments or Political Donations therefore the brand scores well for these criteria.

What can Ebico do to improve its score?

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