Beulah

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
• Its packaging is recyclable.
• Digital printing technology helps reduce its 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 Beulah “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain, including all of the final production stage.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• 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 Beulah “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool and cashmere.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, down, angora, fur, or exotic animal skin.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Beulah “Good” overall.
