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 Adlin Hue “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • 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 Adlin Hue “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in India, an extreme risk country for labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • 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 Adlin Hue “Good”. There’s no evidence it uses animal products apart from silk, insect based dyes, and/or pearls.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Adlin Hue “It’s a Start” overall.
