Responsibly sourced

Better for the environment and better for workers.

A green badge means the product passes one of our responsibly sourced criteria. A grey badge means it does not and it is in a category, or has a prevalent ingredient, which is commonly covered by one of the certification bodies we look for. For responsible sourcing we look at fair trade (predominantly for tea, coffee and chocolate), sustainable fishing and sustainable wood and paper products. Fair trade means the protection of workers' rights and the environment. Sustainable fishing is better for the environment because it avoids over-fishing and destructive methods. Forest friendly products come from well-managed forests which is good for the environment and local wildlife. We look for Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, MSC, ASC or FSC certification.
