Three

Is Three ethical and sustainable?

Three (or 3) is a mobile phone network owned by the Hong Kong-based CK Hutchinson Holdings. 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 well?

Three performs well in some categories of our research, receiving satisfactory scores in categories affecting Environment, Animals, and People. Three has a good rating for Nuclear and Fossil Fuels investments and involvement; this company has not been linked to the Nuclear Power or Fossil Fuels industries.

In which areas does Three perform poorly?

Unfortunately, Three receives a middle rating in the Human Rights category and a bottom rating for Public Record Criticisms. This is because its parent company, CK Hutchison Holdings, has been linked to unethical activities, such as human rights abuses, worker exploitation and poor environmental practices.
