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.
