Internet Shopping |

Shopping can be a nightmare for the time-poor but guilt-rich consumer with a conscience. Notorious global corporations may lurk behind seemingly innocuous household goods, while choosing the wrong make of mobile phone can leave you with unwanted links to the arms trade. With ethical shopping now a booming business in many countries, a new website has been set up to give concerned customers an instant positive or negative verdict on goods ranging from toothpaste to dog food. Our company names and shames brands that have dubious ownership or poor records on workers' rights, while rewarding those that have the correct green credentials with a place at the top of the ethical league table. Among the goods already scrutinized by the research website are computers, trainers, lavatory cleaners and mobile phones. Products are judged against their record on environmental protection, animal welfare and human rights issues, as well as sustainability criteria. They are then marked out of 20 and placed in a league table, with special mention given to the best and worst in each category. Users can also customize the website's criteria to take into account their own ethical priorities. Our site simplifies things for customers and can act as an easy ethical shopping list, while making sure that we keep companies with poor ethical records on their toes. Partner websites:
