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 Búho “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
