In what areas does Plamil perform well?

Additionally, due to its lack of involvement in these industries, Plamil receives a top rating for Nuclear Power, Fossil Fuels and Armaments.

Due to its positive score, Plamil is eligible for Ethical Accreditation from The Good Shopping Guide, this is assessed by looking at how the Environment, Animals and People are treated and considered by a brand. Read more on How We Rate.
