What makes Swinton an ethical insurance brand?

Swinton receives a top score in many of The Good Shopping Guide’s categories. This includes Political Donations, Irresponsible Lending and Environmental Destruction, where no negative criticisms were found.

What does Swinton receive a bottom score for?

Unfortunately, Swinton has a few middle ratings and one bottom rating which brings its overall score down.

Swinton receives a middle rating in our Environmental Report category. This is because despite its most recent Annual Report briefly mentioning some targets, it lacks detailed sustainability goals. It also receives a middle score in the categories of Climate Disclosure and Carbon Disclosure and Reduction Targets due not setting a clear deadline for its Net Zero target.

What can Swinton do to improve its score? 

The score that Swinton receives within The Good Shopping Guide is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. If Swinton were to improve upon its bottom and middle ratings, it could see its score rise and could see itself becoming one of The Good Shopping Guide’s best insurance companies.

As Swinton’s score is above our minimum Ethical Benchmark, if it applied for Ethical Accreditation it would be awarded with The Good Shopping Guide’s logo.
