Before submitting an application for Ethical Accreditation, The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow the lead set by our top-rated brands and adopt more ethical procedures.

What does Sky receive a top rating for?

The Good Shopping Guide awards Sky with a top rating for our categories of Animal Welfare, Armaments and Nuclear Power due to a lack of negative records.

Does Sky have an Environmental Report?

Under our Environmental Report category, Sky has been awarded with a middle score for its Bigger Impact Report. The report contains the goal of Net Zero by 2030 and evidence of progress. There are no other targets within the report, but Sky receives a middle rating as its Net Zero target is ambitious.

What can Sky do to improve its score? 

Sky’s below-benchmark score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Broadband Providers Ethical Ratings Table is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. The Good Shopping Guide encourages Sky to contact us and submit an application for Ethical Accreditation even though it has a below-benchmark score. That way we can offer it some guidance on how to improve and become one of our most ethical brands within the Ethical Broadband Providers sector.
