How ethical and sustainable is Lec?
Lec is included in The Good Shopping Guide’s Fridge-Freezers Ethical Ratings Table. Lec has yet to meet our Ethical Benchmark, but we believe that in the future, the brand will make the necessary changes to function as a more ethical organisation. Lec might increase consumer trust by applying for Ethical Accreditation, which would include a more complete examination and suggestions for ethical development.
More information on the issues this industry faces may be found in The Good Shopping Guide to eco-friendly Fridge-Freezer brands.
What does Lec do?
Lec produces household appliances and is owned by Glen Dimplex Group.
For which criteria does Lec perform poorly?
Due to the absence of a Code of Conduct, Lec received a low rating. The brand’s parent company has a Sustainability Report that includes a Net Zero aim and other proof of progress, but no other targets, therefore it obtained a middle rating for the Environmental Report.
In what areas does Lec score well for its ethics?
As the company has no ties to any of the following: Nuclear power, Fossil Fuels, Animal Welfare, Armaments, Political Donations, or Public Record Complaints, Stoves obtains a good rating.
How can Lec improve its Ethical Rating?
The Ethical Rating of a brand is divided into three categories by The Good Shopping Guide: the Environment, People and Animals. Find out more about how we rate.
Lec might apply for Ethical Accreditation for more detailed guidance on how to improve.
By publishing a Code of Conduct and a more thorough Environmental Report that contains a number of goals for the brand to aim towards, Lec may raise its grade and satisfy our fundamental ethical requirements.
