co2balance is celebrating this week after passing the Ethical Accreditation Scheme run by the Ethical Company Organisation to become an “Ethical Company”, supporting their commitment to high quality ethical carbon offsetting.

The ethical status is awarded to companies that score highly compared to others in their sector and is based on a series of criteria under three general headings of Environment, Animals and People.

The Ethical Company Organisation provides the world's leading clear and comparative ethical shopping information on thousands of companies and brands to ethical shoppers, NGOs, ethical companies and government.  Their Ethical Company Accreditation Scheme exists to enable ethical companies to display their independently verified Corporate Social Responsibility standard mark - and provide up-to-date positive comparison with less ethical competition.
