Our judges say...
Being the best in your business is about much more than producing good products. UK consumers are now more inclined to demand ethical retailing – and you can find it right here.

Go faux or get outta here! (But only in America)
Hooray for Hollywood. West Hollywood City Council in fact, as they send a strong message to pelt peddlers - go faux or get out - with a ban on fur product sales.
In a huge step for animals, the far-sighted Council approved a ban on the sale of new apparel fur jackets, vests, stoles, and boots in shops within the city limits.

Good business adds to that winning formula
"Welcome to Good Things. Since 2005, the RSPCA Good Business Awards have recognised businesses in fashion and food that go the extra mile for higher animal welfare. With 2011's winners now announced, you'll find all that's best about good business just a few clicks away.
Fashion - Check out all the latest on this year's winners in our fashion section and don't miss out on Isle-of-Wight based Rapanui who took the Innovation award for its use of QR codes (a type of bar code) on the product labels. Customers can now scan each swing tag using their smart phone to view interactive information about the origins of the raw materials in the garment. The traceability content includes maps, locations, images, information and certifications for each individual product - showing the shopper exactly where and how their clothing is made. The judges described the innovation as 'game changing'. We agree.
Food - Don't miss all the latest news on winners - big and small - in our food category where, for the third year running, The Co-operative won the most public votes in the People’s Choice award, plus the award for Most Progress.

A fairer price and a fairer life...
Take a look at the latest campaign from RSPCA Freedom Food A Fairer Life, A Fairer Price? which aims to help their mission to improve the lives of as many farm animals as possible. Not just the few farmed outdoors. Which is why they approve well managed indoor farms as well as free range and organic farms that have met all the RSPCA's strict welfare standards (cages for hens are still a definite no, no).
This means that they can help give as many animals as possible the chance of a fairer life, whilst offering shoppers – like you – a higher welfare option to suit your budget. A fair price to pay for a fairer life for farm animals? So, be sure to look for the Freedom Food logo because that way you know fair's fair!
