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 ALTER X Company “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
- To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
- It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
- It uses low-impact dyes in all of its products.
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 ALTER X Company “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- Some of its supply chain is certified by Social Accountability International - SA8000, including its entire final production stage.
- It traces most of its supply chain.
- 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 ALTER X Company “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.
Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate ALTER X Company “Good” overall.
