Print Guide Updates
All information has been based on the sources referenced with a view to accuracy
at time of printing, however, as is the nature of a guide such as this, changes
become apparent almost immediately upon printing.
Updates to the February 2008 printing of 'The Guide To Ethical Supermarket
Shopping' are listed below.
We suggest you get your Guide booklet and a pen and make the following changes.
Text and symbols in red need correcting.
The rating for several companies has changed from a boycott to a cross (Mars,
Bayer, Kraft, Johnson & Johnson, Colgate Palmolive, Sara Lee) or from a
cross to a boycott (Kimberly-Clark). These have not been included below, since
I believe most users of our print guide would avoid both equally.
However the updates below do include all companies who's rating have changed
from a tick to a cross (Novartis, Roche, Wyeth, Frucor, Henkel, Coca-Cola Amatil,
Pepsi, Cerebos) or a tick to a boycott (Tata, Kellogg).
Please send any comments or updates to info@ethical.org.au.
