Reckitt Benckiser, Nurofen’s parent company has a recent Sustainability Insights Report. The report contains targets such as becoming Carbon Neutral, reducing water consumption and reducing energy consumption. It also includes evidence of progress.

As a result, Nurofen has a top score for our Environmental Report category.

What does Nurofen receive a bottom rating for? 

Unfortunately, Nurofen receives a bottom rating for Animal Welfare. Reckitt Benckiser states on its website that it tests on animals when it is legally mandated.

Despite claiming that it seeks to minimise the number of animals used for testing, it still receives a bottom rating for Animal Welfare.

What can Nurofen do to improve its score? 

Nurofen’s below-benchmark rating on The Good Shopping Guide’s Pain Remedies Ethical Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As it doesn’t yet have a top score in the Ethical Pain Remedies Sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages Nurofen to get in touch to apply for Ethical Accreditation. After receiving its application, The Good Shopping Guide will offer Nurofen some advice on how to improve its score. After following our advice, Nurofen could see its position rise on our Ratings Table.
