Anekdot

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 Anekdot “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• 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 avoids plastic packaging.

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 Anekdot “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its primary stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It ensures workers in the final production stage are paid a living wage, but not throughout its entire supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Anekdot makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Anekdot “Great” overall.
