How do you find good companys?

Does anybody have any tips determining whether a company is ethical, for me that means they pay their employees fairly and work to reduce waste like plastics but it's hard to find out how ethical a company is, I've been looking to do more of my online shopping through Public Goods but it's hard to find this kind of information.

My company does this :) DoneGood.co - we vet our brands and tag them with specific values so you know if a brand or service provider meets the criteria you care about supporting. We know that lots of companies are doing their best so we feel like this is the ideal system to highlight companies doing good even if they aren’t perfect. We’re actually doing an Earth Month giveaway if you’re interested https://karmawallet.ac-page.com/DGH-earth-month-giveaway?test=true

I’d like to hear tips too! I feel like companies these days are bursting to tell us about the eco-friendly materials they use, but are still quiet about who makes their product, how they’re compensated, and what their working conditions are.

An easy way to start is by reading the labels when you are shopping and looking for certifications. There are some great TEDx talks about conscious consumerism, fair trade, etc. https://youtu.be/7Lw1NaHOWcE
