Stella Artois

Is Stella Artois an ethical beer, lager and cider brand?

Recognised by its red, white and gold logo, Stella Artois is a below-benchmark brand of beer within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Beer, Lager and Cider sector. As it does not yet reach our minimum ethical benchmark, Stella Artois cannot yet be classified as an ethical brand.

If you wish to see how Stella Artois compares to other brands within the Ethical Beer, Lager and Cider sector, have a look at the Beer, Lager and Cider Ethical Ratings Table. Our Ratings Table can help you to find out more about the criteria that a brand needs to meet to achieve reaching our minimum ethical benchmark.

The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow in the footsteps of our top-rated brands and begin introducing more sustainable practices.

What does Stella Artois receive a bottom rating for?

Unfortunately, Stella Artois receives a bottom rating for our Political Donations research category. AB InBev has donated millions of dollars in recent U.S. election cycles, which goes against The Good Shopping Guide’s criteria for Political Donations.

What can Stella Artois do to improve its score? 

Stella Artois’ low placement on The Good Shopping Guide’s Beer, Lager and Cider Ethical Ratings Table is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

Your Beer, Lager and Cider brand could benefit from Ethical Accreditation as it would become easily recognised by consumers as an ethical product to purchase.
