bleed

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It uses 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 bleed “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its supply chain is certified by Fair Wear Foundation, and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, including most of the final, production stage.
• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 bleed “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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