What scores does Slingsby need to work on?

Slingsby is, unfortunately, not an organic gin brand and lacks certification. Spirits of Harrogate, Slingsby’s parent company Spirits of Harrogate has a Social Responsibility page.

However, it does not discuss any sustainable environmental goals.

Because of this, Slingsby receives a middle score for both the Organic and Environmental Report categories.

What can Slingsby do to improve its score further? 

Slingsby’s above benchmark within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Spirits sector is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.
