Rangemaster

How ethical is Rangemaster?

Rangemaster is included in The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Cookers Ethical Ratings Table. The brand falls short of our Ethical benchmark. We urge all Cooker brands to adopt higher standards of ethics and behaviour like our top rated brands.

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 Rangemaster to other brands.

What does Rangemaster do?

Rangemaster began in 1830 in Royal Leamington Spa, producing range cookers, appliances, sinks and taps. The brand describes itself as “Britain’s best-loved cooker brand” selling small kitchen appliances, as well as built-in cookers, and a speciality in range cookers. Rangemaster is a part of AGA and was acquired by The Middleby Corporation in 2015. In February 2026, AGA Rangemaster was acquired by private equity firm, 26North Partners.

In what areas does Rangemaster perform well? 

Rangemaster performs well in many areas of ethical business practice. Rangemaster receives a high Ethical Rating in our  Fossil Fuels category, as we found no links to this industry.

The brand also received a high score for Animal Welfare and Human Rights, as it has not been criticised for any issues related to these categories.

In what areas does Rangemaster perform poorly?

Rangemaster’s parent company, 26North Partners, has links to the defence industry through its other investments, resulting in a bottom rating for Armaments.

Additionally, as Rangemaster does not publish a Supplier Code of Conduct, it receives a bottom rating in this category.

How could Rangemaster rate higher on our Cookers Ethical Ratings Table? 

To improve its overall ethical rating, we encourage Rangemaster and 21North to cease all links with the Armaments industry. We also recommend publishing a robust Supplier Code of Conduct, which ensures its suppliers are adhering to strong workers’ rights standards.
