Bhumi

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
• It avoids plastic 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 Bhumi “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• 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 Bhumi “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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