What is Ethical Consumer?

It's the UK's leading alternative consumer organisation.

For over 20 years, Ethical Consumer has been researching and reporting on company behaviour. It rates companies and products against 23 ethical criteria in easy-to-read guides.

Ethical Consumer magazine and website includes buyers' guides, news and reviews, and a unique list of active UK consumer boycotts. Take a look at some free sample buyers' guides, for reviews of clothes, laptops, coffee, paint and broadband.

Why should I subscribe?

With easy and reliable buyers' guides you can check products, from tea to shower gel, against the criteria that are most important to you - whether it's animal testing, the environment or political activity. So now it's easy to find the 'greenest' product, whatever you need to buy.

You can also investigate companies further and download back issues or reports.

Essential reading for everyone that believes in democracy and citizen power as a way to create a truly sustainable society.

Charles Secrett, former Executive Director, Friends of the Earth
