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 Angels Ambition “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, including organic cotton.
  • It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • While it offers resale of secondhand products, there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to address textile waste in its supply chain.
  • It uses some recycled 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 Angels Ambition “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final stage of production is undertaken in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • It traces some of its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers’ rights.
  • 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 Angels Ambition “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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