Astrid & Miyu

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• It recycles jewellery to minimise consumer textile waste.
• 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 Astrid & Miyu “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It doesn't disclose where its final production stage occurs.
• 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 Astrid & Miyu makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials other than pearls, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Astrid & Miyu “Not Good Enough” overall.
