I have used Ethical Consumer magazine and resources for the last 20 years in my teaching around the area of consumption ethics. It is an excellent resource for providing up-to-date information on corporate activities, consumer boycotts and buycotts as well as market reports.

It is a fantastic introduction to those unfamiliar with the issues as well as for those who wish to go deeper into specific issues. Thank you Ethical Consumer!"

Professor Deirdre Shaw, University of Glasgow.

Ethical Consumer in a fantastic teaching resource, which I have used for several years as part of undergraduate social science courses.

Ethical Consumer’s reports are an excellent resource to illustrate, communicate and explore not only ethical consumption itself but topics of sustainable consumption and sustainable development; economic globalisation and global value chains; corporate abuses and corporate social responsibility; as well as campaign groups, social movements and contentious politics."

Dr Daniel Welch, Lecturer in Sociology, Sustainable Consumption Institute, University of Manchester.

What’s the difference between a subscription to the Corporate Research Database and the Ethical Consumer website?

With a subscription to the magazine and consumer site you get access to the consumer shopping guides and magazine, but not all the data that we hold on companies.

With a subscription to the Corporate Research Database you get access to all the data we hold on companies, not just to the data that appears in the shopping guides, but you don’t get access to the shopping guides or magazines.

About the Ethical Consumer website

Subscribers can access our shopping guides on the website. We have over 100 shopping guides at present.

Our unique shopping guides are powered by our Corporate Research Database. This database contains information on over 40,000 companies, brands and products.

We've developed the world's most sophisticated and simple to use, personal ethical rating system to turn this data into the score tables on our shopping guides.

The database is a result of over 20 years work conducting primary and secondary research and systematically organising it using our ratings system.

Subscribers can also access detailed product, brand & company information on our company pages.

Subscribers will also have access to the most recent magazine and our back catalogue in digital format.
