How can PensionBee improve its Ethical Rating?

The Good Shopping Guide employs a variety of assessment criteria to determine whether a brand is ethical and therefore eligible for Ethical Accreditation. PensionBee scores are calculated using these criteria for all its surveyed categories. To continue developing its Ethical Rating, the company can apply for and receive Ethical Accreditation. Furthermore, by following in the footsteps of other strong brands, such as Aviva, the brand could perform better in the Responsible Investment Policy bracket.
