What Do You Value? What Do You Buy?

With every dollar you spend you have an impact on the planet and it's people. But you won't find information on the environmental and social record of companies on the product labels of your favorite brands.

The Ethical Consumer Guide ranks brands according to their company rating. This is based on assessment information gathered from over 25 sources including the work of organisations such as Greenpeace, Choose Cruelty Free, Corporate Monitor, Reputex, Responsible Shopper and Sustainability Victoria.

Presently the guide focuses on supermarket products.
