Before you buy
Start with suitability, then compare the evidence. These checks are questions to investigate, not promises that every product in this ranking meets them.
- Check whether borrowing, used copies or a format you already own meets the need before buying new.
- For printed editions, distinguish paper sourcing, recycled content and printing claims.
- For guides making health or environmental claims, check the author, evidence and publication date, not just the cover.
What the ranking does—and does not—tell you
The ethics score is a comparison of the information recorded in our catalogue, not a customer star rating, safety test or complete lifecycle assessment. Check the individual product's sources, certificate scope and current retailer details before deciding.
