Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • 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 Biku Design “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its products are made in-house by the owner.
  • 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. Here we rate Biku Design “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

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