ACBC's environment rating is 'it's a start'. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. There is no evidence it minimises packaging. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. It monitors health and safety issues through a third party audit of its final stage of production suppliers. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain including all of the final stage of production.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use fur, leather, down, exotic animal skin, exotic animal hair or angora. It uses wool certified by the ZQ Merino label.

ACBC is rated 'It's a start' overall.
