Alder's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including Tencel. 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'. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. 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. It audits some of its supply chain.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use any animal products but it does not state that it's vegan.

Alder is rated 'Good' overall.
