The GOOD Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow in the footsteps of our Ethically Accredited brands and apply for Ethical Accreditation.

What does VOSS receive a top score for?

VOSS receives a top score for Fossil Fuels and Armaments, as it has not been linked to these industries either directly or through its parent company.

What does VOSS receive a bottom score for?

Unfortunately, VOSS receives a bottom rating under The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Environmental Report category. This is because the company does not provide sufficient information on its sustainability commitments, such as targets for reducing its carbon footprint.

What can VOSS do to improve its score? 

The GOOD Shopping Guide calculated VOSS’ score by taking into account many ethical standards. We recommend that VOSS publishes clear environmental targets and works toward improving its sustainability practices.
