Despite its low Ethical Rating, The Good Shopping Guide still encourages Hotpoint to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation.

What can Hotpoint do to improve its score? 

Hotpoint’s below benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Cookers sector is the result of a calculation of various ethical criteria.

As it has a low score on the Cookers Ethical Ratings Table we recommend that Hotpoint get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After we received its application, The Good Shopping Guide would offer Hotpoint some tips on how to work on its bottom scores. If it followed our advice, Hotpoint could see itself becoming one of our most ethical cooker brands.
