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 Alo “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to minimise microplastic impacts

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 Alo “Very Poor”. 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 doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• 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 has a Code of Conduct.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

• It appears to use leather, wool, and cashmere.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, shearling, alpaca, mohair, or down.
