Organic beats beer and cigarettes

By Alex | Published: 27 November, 2006

…or so the headline goes on the BBC News today. Apparently retail sales in the UK of beer and cigarrettes are £28bn whilst the amount spent on ethical products hit £29.3bn ($56.7bn) in 2005, the Co-operative bank states. However most of the ethical spend relates to food and energy products and the article points out that ethical product only makes up a small proportion of the consumer shopping basket.

Indigo continues to support ethical promotional products and offers organic cotton clothing and recycled merchandise.
