What do Animal Friends receive a top score for?

Due to the lack of negative records, Animal Friends receives a top score for the categories of Environmental Destruction, Irresponsible Lending and Political Donations.

In which categories do Animal Friends receive a bottom score?

Unfortunately, in order to meet our minimum ethical benchmark, Animal Friends has some bottom scores that it needs to work on. Animal Friends receives a bottom score for its Environmental Report as it only has a brief ‘About Us’ page, which lacks sustainability targets.

Animal Friends also receives a bottom score for The Good Shopping Guide’s Climate Disclosure category as it does not share any information publicly available on this topic.

What can Animal Friends do to improve its score? 

Animal Friends’ below-benchmark score within The Good Shopping Guide is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. Despite being a below-benchmark brand, we encourage Animal Friends to still apply for Ethical Accreditation. By working on its bottom scores in the Environmental Report and Climate Disclosure categories, Animal Friends could see its place rise on the Ethical Insurance Ratings Table.
