• Much of its final stage is located in lower-risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• It provides a confidential complaints mechanism for workers in its supply chain to report suspected modern slavery.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Note that the “People” rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

• It's invested in the development of alternative product-testing methods that don't harm animals.
• It does not have a certification, policy, or statement against the use of animal testing in its supply chains.
