How could Utility Warehouse rate higher on our Ethical Broadband Ratings Table? 

Utility Warehouse is eligible for Ethical Accreditation due to its satisfactory score according to The Good Shopping Guide; brand ethics are examined by looking at the Environment, Animals, and People-based ESG, CSR and sustainability policies within a company. Learn more about how we rate and research brands’ ethics.

Ethical Accreditation boosts customer trust in a brand and serves as a certification for businesses to demonstrate that they meet an ethical standard. Utility Warehouse could improve its Ethical Rating score further by addressing its Public Record Criticisms. The brand agreed to pay £1.5 million for customer debt issues, such as customers not being consistently offered services and support to those experiencing payment difficulty.
