Screenings
- Do you need detailed, independent, individually-tailored ethical research on a company?
- Perhaps you're a charity considering corporate sponsorship, an NGO looking to commission major new IT services, or an ethical company trying to source promotional products to enhance your brand?
- Do you require an independent ethical report on a company?
Ethical Consumer's screening service can help you to ensure that partners and sponsors will not pose a reputational risk or clash with your organisation's own ethics.
A company screening draws together information from a range of sources, including 20 years' worth of accumulated data from the Corporate Critic database, as well as up-to-date checks on a company's ownership and a detailed press search from mainstream, business and campaign group sources. The service is of particular use to organisations without the time or resources to run their own checks on the Corporate Critic database.
Screenings can also be tailored to meet your ethical criteria, prioritising those categories from our environmental, human rights, animal welfare and politics subject areas which are of more importance to you. See a full list of our ethical categories.
Users of our screening service have included:
fair trade companies checking up on possible suppliers of mugs and tins;
major development NGOs making decisions about possible sponsorship partners;
global human rights organisations ensuring that contractors haven't infringed on human rights in their own work;
a national women's organisation researching the ethics of merchandising partners;
the Mayor of London's office raising awareness of the environmental and worker safety records of companies running the London Underground;
individual investors checking up on the ethical records of shareholdings and inheritances.
