What can He-Shi do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that He-Shi is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Self Tan Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

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

However, we would encourage He-Shi to gain more certification for its Animal Welfare policy, plus Organic and Vegetarian certification in order to improve its score for these criteria. If He-Shi applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.
