Blue Of A Kind

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 Blue Of A Kind “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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 Blue Of A Kind “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage 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 Blue Of A Kind “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Blue Of A Kind “Good” overall.
