Good

A safe choice. Workers earn enough to live on, can stand up for their rights, and the whole supply chain is checked for child and forced labour.

A responsible choice. Workers are treated fairly, even if the company doesn't go far beyond that.

Pays a living wage, ideally proven by accreditation such as Fairtrade
Respects worker rights: freedom to join unions, safe conditions, no abuse
Its full supply chain is independently audited, or it makes everything in countries with rigorous labour laws (such as Australia, Italy or Norway)
No reports of forced or child labour
Publishes where its products are made: a supplier list, named farms or co-operatives, or its own factories
Doesn't rely on hazardous raw materials it can't trace

To reach Great: pay beyond a living wage, find and fix problems openly, or give workers a real voice, such as ownership or union agreements.
