Neff

How ethical and sustainable is Neff? 

Neff is included in The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Cookers Ethical Ratings Table. Neff has not yet upheld our ethical standards, but we are hopeful that in the future, the company will change in order to operate in a more ethical and sustainable manner.

More information on the issues this industry faces may be found in The GOOD Shopping Guide to eco-friendly cooker brands. Then, in our Cookers Ethical Ratings Table compare it to other brands.

What does Neff do?

Neff began in 1877 and sells a range of kitchen appliances from fridge freezers, dishwashers, drawers, microwaves, hobs and ovens. Bosch acquired Neff in 1982 when AEG went bankrupt.

For which criteria does Neff perform poorly? 

Neff scored a low Ethical Rating for Political Donations, as its parent company, Bosch, makes regular political donations in the United States.

Due to Bosch’s involvement in Fossil Fuels, Neff also receives a bottom rating in this category.

In what areas does Neff score well for its ethics?

Neff receives a good rating for its Environmental Report, due to evidence of sustainability targets and commitments.

How can Neff 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.

Neff may improve its Ethical Rating and meet our fundamental Ethical Benchmark by stopping all Political Donations and re-examining how the company treats employees.
