For which criteria does Slingsby perform poorly?

Slingsby is, unfortunately, not an organic-certified gin brand. Spirit of Harrogate, Slingsby’s parent company, lacks information on their environmental awareness, progress and goals. Because of this, Slingsby receives a bottom score for both the Organic and Environmental Report categories.

In what areas does Slingsby score well for its ethics?

Slingsby was marked up under our criteria for Animal Welfare, Nuclear Power and Fossil Fuels.

What can Slingsby do to improve its score? 

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

As Slingsby’s score is close to our ethical benchmark, Slingsby might consider applying for Ethical Accreditation. The Good Shopping Guide would offer Slingsby some advice on how to improve its lower ratings following a more complete assessment before moving forward with the Ethical Accreditation.
