• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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

• Its final production stage happens in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It’s not clear if it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• It traces most of 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 Bario Neal makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, 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 Bario Neal “Great” overall.
