• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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 Unbelts “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It ensures workers in the final production stage are paid a living wage.

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 Unbelts “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 Unbelts “Great” overall.
