isn't "ethical" one of those subjective terms though?

so... no-one can say their product/service is "ethical" without getting into a semantic argument about what "ethical" means

or... anyone can call their product/service "ethical" and it's up to the buyer to work out if their definition of that agrees

That's my point. The value is in the discussion around what's considered ethical, not in the label.

What I would like is for services like this to provide, up-front, a more complete discussion of how they've arrived at their recommendations, and what criteria they consider.

that's reasonable, I guess... though I can see a point where they want to sell things, rather than engage in endless discussions about everyone's opinion of what "ethical" means ;)
