Apart

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 Apart “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It provides evidence on its efforts to minimise 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 Apart “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• All of its final production stage happens in Poland.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• 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. Since Apart 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 Apart “It's a Start” overall.
