Is Three ethical and sustainable?
Three (or 3) is a mobile phone network owned by Vodafone Group Plc. The brand receives a poor GOOD Shopping Guide Ethical Score in our Ethical Mobile Phone Networks Ratings Table and therefore does not pass our Ethical Benchmark, and cannot be considered a good ethical brand.
We encourage other companies, as well as Three, in the Mobile Phones Networks sector to keep striving for change and adopt more ethical policies and practices.
In which areas does Three perform poorly?
Unfortunately, Three receives a bottom rating in the Human Rights category and a bottom rating for Public Record Criticisms. This is because its parent company has been linked to unethical activities, such as human rights abuses, worker exploitation and poor environmental practices.
If your mobile phone network brand values ethics and sustainability, why not check out The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Ethical Accreditation? Increase customer and investor confidence and stand out from the greenwash.
