The Thatched-Products research was conducted by The Ethical Company Organisation’s own Research Department in Spring 2004. And the ethical ratings system was similarly worked on in the Spring and Summer of 2004. The Thatched-Products.co.uk research results will occasionally vary from the ECRA research found in The Good Shopping Guide - as several of the criteria and much of the methodology varies. Thatched-Products.co.uk is designed for online shopping only as a ‘quick ethical ratings check’ and ‘Price Search’ service. For a fuller and deeper body of research we recommend you buy a copy of The Good Shopping Guide at www.thatched-products.co.uk and subscribe To ECRA’s corporate critic service at www.ethicalconsumer.org
