The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow the example set by our Ethically Accredited brands and introduce more sustainable policies.

What does Jameson receive a top rating for?

Does Jameson use genetically modified ingredients?

Jameson is awarded a middle score for The Good Shopping Guide’s Genetic Modification category. As Pernod Ricard has not released a statement or received any negative criticisms, it meets our criteria for a middle rating.

What can Jameson do to improve its score?

In order to see its score rise on the Spirits Ethical Ratings Table, we recommend that Jameson introduce an organic or Vegan range.
