Is Tennent’s an ethical beer, lager and cider brand?

Owned by C&C Group, Tennent’s is one of The Good Shopping Guide’s top-rated lager brands within the Ethical Beer, Lager and Cider sector.

As it has an above-benchmark score, Tennent’s is eligible for Ethical Accreditation. To be awarded with our prestigious logo, all Tennent’s needs to do is apply. The Good Shopping Guide would provide it with an evaluation and some tips on how to make some small improvements.

To find out which other brands within the Ethical Beer, Lager and Cider sector meet our minimum Ethical Benchmark like Tennent’s visit the Beer, Lager and Cider Ethical Ratings Table. Our Ratings Table can teach you about the criteria that a brand has to meet to achieve meeting our minimum Ethical Benchmark.

The Good Shopping Guide encourages all below-benchmark brands to copy the example set by our top-rated brands and begin introducing more ethical policies.

What does Tennent’s receive a top rating for?

As a top-rated brand, Tennent’s receives a high score in most of our categories. However, we are especially pleased with its top score for our Vegetarian category as many of Tennent’s products are certified by The Vegetarian Society.

What does Tennent’s receive a middle rating for?

Tennent’s, unfortunately, receives a middle rating for The Good Shopping Guide’s Genetic Modification category as the brand has no statement or criticisms.

We hope that in the future Tennent’s can improve upon this score to see its position rise on the Beer, Lager and Cider Ethical Ratings Table.

What can Tennent’s do to improve its score? 

Tennent’s brilliant score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Beer, Lager and Cider Ethical Ratings Table is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. Because it already has an above-benchmark score and is a highly rated lager brand within the Ethical Beer, Lager and Cider sector, all Tennent’s needs to do to receive our logo is apply for Ethical Accreditation. By applying, Tennent’s would receive some tips on how to work on its bottom score and would then be able to proudly display our ethics and sustainability certification.
