Calle Del Mar

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 Calle Del Mar “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
