Compare Ethics is a movement in the retail industry using supply chain data as a force for good. We have a vision to transform the industry for the global community and planet to thrive.

Our ambition is to be the definitive verification solution for responsible retail. Enabling retail businesses to verify, track and measure their impact and communicate it effectively to consumers, investors and employees. We believe that through technology positive change is possible at a global scale. We think the system is broken and we are going to be a key player to fix it.

About the Company

The company was founded in 2019 by Abbie Morris and James Omisakin - experienced in sustainability and product respectively targeting the $27trillion retail market. The business has raised just under £700K since inception. Ascension Ventures – a top tier European VC fund – led our pre-seed round.

Our sights are set on scale, this means expanding our client base, product offering and growing our already thriving community of retail businesses across Europe.

We work hard but take the time to celebrate the wins. Expect days out and experiences to take the time to appreciate the hard work paying off.
