Ethical Shopping - buy what you need, not just what you want.

Stockport Friends of the Earth are working in conjunction with other local FoE groups to compile an Ethical Shopping Guide which we expect to publish later in the year. The Stockport section of this guide will provide information about local Stockport shops that will inform people in Stockport of their ethical shopping opportunities.

Fair trade, organic, locally produced, recycled, made from sustainable timber, energy efficient, biodegradable or ecofriendly?

General information about Ethical Products is contained in the the fifth edition of The Good Shopping Guide (pictured). Make informed decisions about buying brands that are best for the planet, animals and people everywhere.

Ethical Businesses - We need you.

If you sell ethical products and would like to be included in our guide,

you can download and print our Ethical Shopping Guide questionnaire.

Alternatively, download and complete our word format Ethical Shopping Guide questionnaire

Please return the questionnaire to the address on the form
or as an email attachment to stockportfoe@ntlworld.com

The questionnaire is designed to seek information about the type of ethical products you stock by category, and in which way they are ethical.

There will also be an opportunity for you to tell us what brands of products you stock or any other information we've not asked for. We will try to include this in the guide although we cannot make any promises.
