What does Whirlpool have a high score for?

Whirlpool receives a top score for our Environmental Report category.

Koç Holding has a recent Sustainability Report which contains emissions targets and information on how it plans to reach them. The report also contains evidence of progress on its previous targets.

What does Whirlpool have a low score for?

Koç Holding has links to the weapons and defence industry, resulting in a bottom rating for Armaments. Additionally, due to involvement in the oil & gas industry, the brand also receives a bottom rating for Fossil Fuels.

What can Whirlpool do to improve its score? 

Whirlpool’s below benchmark score within The GOOD Shopping Guide’s Ethical Cookers sector is the result of an evaluation of multiple ethical criteria. We recommend that Whirlpool and Koç Holding work on their low ratings, including ceasing involvement in the armaments and fossil fuels industries.
