What does Ultrasun receive a top score for?

What could Ultrasun do to improve its score? 

Ultrasun’s above-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Sun Protection sector is the result of a calculation of a variety of ethical criteria.

Lalique Group, Ultrasun’s parent company has a recent Sustainability Report. However, it does not contain any targets and also has limited evidence of progress on previous targets. As a result, Ultrasun receives a bottom rating in the Environmental Report criterion. If the brand were to improve on this, it could see its score rise in The Good Shopping Guide.
