Boll & Branch

Boll & Branch rating applies to its house apparel products only and does not cover other categories of products outside of apparel.

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 Boll & Branch “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• It produces seasonless collections.

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 Boll & Branch “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• Some of its supply chain is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, including all of the final stage of production.
• It audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage.
• 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. Since Boll & Branch makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

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