Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Anna van Toor's rating applies to the Anna van Toor house apparel brands only and doesn’t apply to other product categories. Check the individual ratings to learn about the other brands that Anna van Toor stocks.

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 Anna van Toor “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.

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 Anna van Toor “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • 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 Anna van Toor “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, down, and exotic animal hair.
  • It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
  • It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Anna van Toor “Not Good Enough” overall.
