What makes Admiral an ethical insurance brand?

Admiral receives a top score from The Good Shopping Guide for many of our categories including Environmental Destruction, Political Donations and Irresponsible Lending. The company also receives a top rating for Carbon Disclosure & Reduction Targets due to disclosing its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and having clear goals for reducing its carbon emissions, with the ultimate aim of achieving Net Zero by 2040.

What does Admiral receive a bottom score for?

Though Admiral doesn’t receive a bottom rating in any of our categories, it does have a few middle ratings to work on. Admiral receives a middle rating for its Environmental Report and Responsible Investment Policy, which can both be improved with more detailed environmental commitments and tighter restrictions around investments.

What can Admiral do to improve its score? 

Admiral’s top score is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical research criteria carried out by The Good Shopping Guide.

We would encourage Admiral to work on its middle scores to see its position rise higher on the Ethical Insurance Ratings Table. However, if it applied, Admiral would be awarded with our Ethical Accreditation Mark, as it already has an above-benchmark rating.
