Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 1 People “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • To minimise waste, it recycles all of its textile offcuts.
  • It uses some recycled packaging.

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 1 People “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Some of its final stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
  • 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 1 People “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use wool and cashmere.
  • A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consists of certified alternatives to conventional wool.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair, exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate 1 People “Good” overall.
