Elliss

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Elliss “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it recycles all of its textile offcuts.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Elliss “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in the UK, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Elliss “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Elliss “Good” overall.
