How could One Gin rate higher on our Spirits Ethical Ratings Table?
One Gin is eligible for Ethical Accreditation due to its strong score according to The Good Shopping Guide, this is examined by looking at The Environment, Animals and People within a company and how much the brand considers this.
Ethical Accreditation boosts customer trust in a brand and serves as a certification for businesses to demonstrate that they meet an ethical standard. One Gin would benefit from this Accreditation, but could further improve its Ethical Rating score further by releasing a Genetic Modification statement as well as the introduction of an Organic Gin or Vegan alcohol range.
