Everyday we use or consume many products that are made by various different companies, but do we really know how these companies operate and whether they have good ethical standards? Recently we have seen new products that are "organic" or "fairtrade" but often they are more expensive and there has been debate to whether these labels actually do mean improved ethics.
Below are some links about everyday products we use and the companies that manufacture them, in some cases awarding an Ethiscore (often scored out of 15). Some of these sites require subscription fees to gather all the information, but they do give some general information and give you a starting point to investigate further should you desire.

It may also be of some interest to browse the dispatches section of Channel4's website which tackles a variety of issues and has online debate.
