The
GOOD Shopping Guide 2005 €18.00
Charlotte Mulvey (Ed)
The GOOD Shopping Guide has fast become the authority on ethical
shopping, since it’s launch in October 2002.
It looks at the ethical behaviour of the
ultimate holding companies, behind hundreds of the UK’s
biggest brands, with regard to the Environment, Animal Welfare
and Human Rights.
Updated annually, the book uses gold standard
research from the Ethical Consumer Research Association, who
have been leaders in this field since 1989.
There are 60 different product sections,
from Banks to Butter and Washing Machines to Jeans. Each product
section gives useful information about the ethical issues
to take in to consideration when purchasing that product,
and an at-a-glance summary of the overall ethicality scores
of different companies and brands. A more in-depth table shows
exactly what each company has been involved in, or not –
from animal testing through to political donations.
The book, which is full colour throughout,
also contains beautiful colour pictures of the natural world.
