Best Buy, Again

Best Buy, Again

By David Hanney

Alpkit have just been named a Best Buy by Ethical Consumer Magazine—and the whole team are chuffed.

We’ve just been named a Best Buy by Ethical Consumer Magazine—and the whole team are chuffed.

It’s a big deal because Ethical Consumer doesn’t mess about. They dig deep into how companies treat people, animals and the planet—looking at everything from supply chain transparency and workers’ rights to carbon reporting and repair. So this isn’t just a pat on the back for good intentions. It’s proper recognition for doing the work.

We’ve always believed there’s a better way to make gear. One that’s kinder, fairer and leaves less mess behind. That’s why we design for repair, use lower-impact materials, and pay the Living Wage. It’s why we back grassroots projects through the Alpkit Foundation and support open access to the outdoors.

This award’s for you too. Every time you choose to fix rather than throw away, to shop with your values, or to nudge us to do better—you’re helping shape a different kind of business.

Thanks for being part of it. We’ll keep doing our best to live up to it. And we’ll never stop trying to raise the bar.

Read the full scores on Ethical Consumer’s website—we’re listed as a Best Buy in Ethical Outdoor Clothing and Outdoor Clothing Shop categories.
