Abstract: This paper introduces the concept of shopping ethically. It includes a bit about the philosophy behind what we do and some background to the main issues that made it so important. It also gives us some guidance on getting started as an ethical consumer and explains the different ways that we can make a difference when we go shopping. Expenditure on ethical goods and services has grown almost threefold in the past 10 years. Ethical Consumerism means adopting a different perspective on our disposable income. It’s not just the links between the product and its impact that ethical consumers need to consider, but the activities of the company behind the brand. A less number of multinational companies own a large proportion of our favorite brands. As consumers, we have a great deal of power in our pockets and we’ve already experienced change.
