Rituals

How ethical is Rituals?

Rituals is a brand of toiletries which has a good score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Soap & Shower Gel Ratings Table.

With a high GSG score, Rituals can be considered an ethical brand. We encourage other companies in the Ethical Soap & Shower Gel sector to follow Rituals’ example and adopt more ethical policies and practices.

What does Rituals do?

Rituals was founded in 2000 by Raymond Cloosterman with a mission to transform everyday routines into more meaningful moments.

In which areas does Rituals perform well?

Rituals receives a top rating in the Nuclear Power, Fossil Fuels and Armaments categories, as it has not been linked with any of these controversial industries.

Additionally, as Rituals was not found to have made any donations to political parties, candidates or PACs in the past 5 years, the brand receives a top rating in the Political Donations criterion.

What can Rituals do to improve its score?

The above benchmark score that Rituals is awarded on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Soap & Shower Gel Ratings Table is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria.

As Rituals already receives a top score in the Ethical Soap & Shower Gel sector, The Good Shopping Guide encourages it to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. After sending in its application, Rituals will be offered the use of The Good Shopping Guide ethical mark.

However, we would encourage Rituals to gain Organic and Vegetarian certification for its products in order to improve its score for these criteria. If Rituals applies for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer some guidance on this.

Were you aware that your brand could benefit from Ethical Accreditation? If accredited by The Good Shopping Guide, brands can display our Ethical Mark, showcasing to consumers that it is an ethical and sustainable supplier.
