Living ethically in the 21st century is complex and often conflicted, but there are tools and resources that can help us make informed and effective choices. In the UK, Ethical Consumer Magazine is an independent, not-for-profit, multi-stakeholder co-operative whose mission is to make global businesses more sustainable through consumer pressure. Founded in Manchester in 1989, Ethical Consumer helps consumers to shop ethically, campaigners to challenge corporate power, and businesses to improve their supply chain
In support of Buddhist Action Month 2018, Ethical Consumer Magazine is offering a free copy of the magazine, as well as a special discounted subscription of 14 months for the price of 12.
On top of that, BAM participants are welcome to share our subscription with our spiritual communities, meaning not only the magazine but also the website. In that case, choose a Username and Password that are straightforward, and make sure that nobody changes those details.

Ethical Consumer has developed an easy-to-use ethical rating system based on detailed research of over 40,000 companies, brands and products. The ratings are updated daily and in real time from a Corporate Critic database, which is a result of over 20 years of primary and secondary research and systematic organisation and ratings. Some of this information is free to access, while the full set of tools is available for a small yearly subscription, which in turn helps fund the work.
