Print Guide Updates (2008 edition)
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.
Click here for an explanation of the changes. Click
here for updates occurring after Feb 2009. |
 |
We suggest you get your Guide booklet and a pen and make the following changes.
Text and symbols in red need correcting.
Or even better, buy our latest edition, which
is fully revised and updated with a new layout, new categories, more brands,
updated company ratings, ownership changes and other cool improvements.
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 ownership changes, and all companies who's
rating have changed from a tick to a cross (Beiersdorf, Coca-Cola Amatil, Dairy
Farmers, Heinz, Henkel, George Weston Foods, Golden Circle, Kellogg, Novartis,
Pepsi, PZ Cussons, Roche, Wyeth) or a tick to a boycott (Tata).
Please send any comments or updates to info@ethical.org.au.
