Campaigns & Boycotts

Our boycott list is widely regarded as the most comprehensive English-language list of progressive consumer boycotts.

We regularly add boycotts to the list and you can help by emailing the news editor with any relevant information.

Ethical Consumer has been campaigning for a boycott of Amazon since 2012, particularly because of Amazon's tax avoidance.

But the list of reasons to avoid Amazon extends beyond tax, and includes its services to fossil fuel giants, workers' rights abuses, greenwashing and harmful environmental practices.

Corporate tax abuse continues to make headline news, with more and more companies outed as tax avoiders.

This section aims to help consumers discover more and campaign on the issue.

We preview what fair tax is, how you can find out if companies are fair tax registered, and how we rate companies on their tax conduct. We also link to a global list of tax havens.

Ethical Consumer is asking supermarkets to take responsibility for the rights of migrant workers who grow their fruit and vegetables.

UK supermarkets depend on the regions of Almeria and Huelva in southern Spain to supply them with fresh fruit and vegetables. But for two decades, farm owners in these regions have been violating the rights of migrant workers who pick this fresh produce.

We are not on track to meet international emissions reduction targets. So what is the gap between where we as consumers are and where we need to be? And what actions couldwe take to address it?

The Lush Spring Prize is a collaborative project between Lush and Ethical Consumer. It annually awards £200,000 to projects around the world that are working towards environmental and social regeneration.

When most of The Co-operative Bank's shares were sold to private shareholders in 2013, a group of bank customers, supported by Ethical Consumer, formed the Save Our Bank Campaign.

We now help run the campaign and the Customer Union For Ethical Banking, which has seen the bank return to mutual ownership.

The Lush Prize is a collaboration between Ethical Consumer and Lush Cosmetics; a £350,000 annual fund to reward groups or individuals working in the field of cruelty-free scientific research, awareness raising and lobbying
