Does Indesit have a Code of Conduct?

Whirlpool Corporation, Indesit’s parent company has a robust Code of Conduct. It does state that children as young as 14 can be hired. However, this decision is justified in certain cases when the situation complies with International Labour Organization guidelines.

As a result, Whirlpool receives a top rating for our Code of Conduct category.

Why does Indesit have a bottom rating for Political Donations? 

Within recent election cycles, Whirlpool has donated over $542k. Because this amount is above our threshold for a top or middle rating, Indesit receives a bottom score.

What can Indesit do to improve its score? 

Indesit’s below benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Washing Machines sector is the outcome of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As it has a bottom score in the Ethical Washing Machines sector, The Good Shopping Guide recommends that Indesit contacts us to apply for Ethical Accreditation. After receiving its application, The Good Shopping Guide will offer Indesit some personalised advice on how to raise its score on the Washing Machines Ethical Ratings Table.
