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 CALIDA “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including Tencel Modal.
• There’s no evidence it has set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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 CALIDA “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces some of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• It audits some of its suppliers but does not specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 CALIDA “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
• It traces some animal-derived materials to the first production stage.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CALIDA “Not Good Enough” overall.
