Limitations of this guide
I t seems unfortunate that a company is seen as ‘outstanding’ because it has made a commitment to be free from
genetically engineered ingredients, or refrains from animal testing, or has made a voluntary agreement to minimise
packaging waste. All these things should be normal practice for business, however the reality is that these things
are often secondary to profit. Common business operation is based on reducing expenses by every possible means
which for the most part involves exploitation — of our planet, its people, and each of us as consumers. Let us
redefine what can be considered ‘acceptable’ and raise the bar by holding companies to account, encouraging
company responsibility.
In making this guide both concise and practical we offer a somewhat simplified version of what is a complex web
of company ownership, assessments and related issues. Please view this document as a starting place in developing a
greater understanding of the connections between how we act and its effect on the world around us.
You may note that some large companies tend to rate well given the sources and methodology used. This may
be because some sources focus only on large companies, or larger companies have more resources to put into
sustainability reporting and policy, or simply that there is limited information available on smaller companies.
» If you have a favourite organic or fairtrade product from a smaller company, feel free to submit it for consideration
for later editions of this guide by sending an email to info@ethical.org.au.
» Please see our website at www.ethical.org.au for further discussion of these and other limitations.
