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 Anya Hindmarch “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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

  • Most of its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
  • 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 Anya Hindmarch “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, wool, shearling, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Anya Hindmarch “It’s a Start” overall.
