Our Database

Our Corporate Research Database is a unique resource that contains over 25 years of high quality, stress-tested bespoke research, compiled by the independent, not-for-profit co-operative Ethical Consumer Research Association.

The database contains information on over 2,500 companies and brands, including data on their climate policies, approach to workers’ rights, claims around purpose and ethics, and much more.

Search the full list of currently rated companies.

We track company practice and adherence to company policy, through monitoring news and business media as well as campaign group sources from around the world. Read more about how we conduct our research >

Search tools help you discover:

  • corporate structure, ownership data and related brands
  • an organisation’s overall ethical rating from 0 to 100.

You can also deep dive into the detail of each ranking to see all the fully referenced data and sources. And ready-made reports will allow you to share information with colleagues.

The records are regularly updated by our team of highly qualified researchers., who specialise in a range of topics.

Who uses our ethical corporate research database and why? 

Our Corporate Research Database is used by a wide range of charities, NGOs, and businesses with ethics at the heart of their organisation who are keen to do their due diligence and research potential clients, partners, suppliers, or sponsors.

"At Oxfam GB we rely on the Corporate Research Database as a key part of our private sector partner due diligence processes. It’s really easy to use and pull’s together relevant news stories and NGO rankings, summarising the key points and providing references to follow where more detail is needed."
