Synopsis

Many companies claim to be 'good corporate citizens'. So how does a responsible shopper separate the truly green from the greenwashers? Now in its third edition, this is the only comprehensive guide for socially and environmentally responsible consumers. This 100,000 copy best-seller rates every product on the shelf from A to F so you can quickly tell the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys' - turning your grocery list into a powerful tool to change the world. Drawing on over 20 years of research, this completely revised and updated edition includes over 45 sources of data, new product categories, a more accurate ranking system, additional business profiles and links to the latest online resources. Whether you are in the market for appliances or an aubergine, this guide will help you find out which companies actually 'walk the talk' when it comes to: environmental sustainability; human rights; community involvement; animal protection; and, social justice. Small enough to fit in a back pocket or handbag and organised in a user-friendly format, the guide will help you to change the world as you shop.
