Our Process

How we verify ethical businesses

1

Nomination & Application

Businesses are nominated by the public or apply directly. We gather mission statements, tax filings, employment records, and community investment evidence.

2

Independent Review

Our panel of ethics reviewers assesses each application against our five core criteria. We score each pillar from 1–10 and calculate an overall Ethics Score.

3

Listed & Monitored

Verified businesses receive a dedicated SEO-optimised page with tracked contact links. Listings are reviewed annually to ensure standards are maintained.
