We employ a variety of information sources to calibrate our greentag scores.

We rely on independent green and ethical ratings that are published, a myriad of certification schemes, too many to list here, look at green consumer best buy recommendations, and also have our own jealously guarded rules for what gets rated better and best. That said, most assessments should be transparent and you should see tell tale green descriptors or attributes associated with the product.

As the majority of companies in published green or ethical ranking schemes are somewhere in the middle, with only a handful making the higher grade or at the bottom, we take a wider view looking at who is selling the product, the product itself as well as the manufacturers behind the brands.
