Beyond Retro

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 Beyond Retro “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
• It uses some recycled 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 Beyond Retro “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• 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 Beyond Retro “Not Good Enough”. It doesn’t clearly state what animal-derived materials it uses.

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