On top of this, Ethique has been awarded a top rating in our Ethical Innovator criterion due to its clear ethical ethos and commitment to sustainability.

What can Ethique do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Ethique is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s  Ethical Shampoo & Conditioner Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

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

However, we would encourage Ethique to gain vegan certification for its soap products in order to improve its score, as it is only PETA certified currently. If Ethique applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.

Were you aware that your brand could benefit from Ethical Accreditation? If accredited by The Good Shopping Guide, brands can display our Ethical Mark, showcasing to consumers that it is an ethical and sustainable supplier.
