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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials incluiding recycled materials.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• To minimise the industry's waste, it reuses textile offcuts from other companies.

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 Annaut “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Japan, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 Annaut “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 Annaut “It’s a Start” overall.
