The rapid growth of ethical consumerism


In partnership with The Co-operative Bank, NEF established the first annual Ethical Purchasing Index (EPI).

NEF measured the value of ethical purchases in a selected basket of goods and the total market in the same categories, comprising 7 key categories of consumer expenditure.

This report describes the process of developing the first annual Ethical Purchasing Index, including the methodology, challenges, and initial results.

If you value great public services, protecting the planet and reducing inequality, please support NEF today.
