In which areas does Little Greene perform well?

Little Greene performs well across most of our criteria, but we were particularly impressed with the brand’s Animal Welfare policy. The brand gets a middle score for our Environmental Report and Toxic Chemicals Policy criteria.

What can Little Greene do to improve its ethical score?

Little Greene is encouraged to apply for Ethical Accreditation. If successful in its application, Little Greene would join the certified ethical brands leading the way in progressive and sustainable practices and be permitted to display The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Mark in its communications.

To further increase its score, Little Greene could add some more detail to its Environmental Report.
