About the Ethical Good Food Awards:
Ethical purchasing allows individuals to buy goods and services in a socially responsible way, without compromising their beliefs and principles. This means buying from businesses involved in benefiting the environment, or wider social issues whilst avoiding businesses that cause harm. We use 'negative screening', so as to avoid purchasing from businesses involved in animal testing, using harmful pesticides, pornography, human rights abuses or poor work place relations. We use 'positive screening', to encourage businesses who have demonstrated that they benefit the environment or society. http://egoodfoodawards.com/Default.aspx
