CARAT*

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

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it minimises waste in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It takes action to reduce process greenhouse gas emissions during 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 CARAT* “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 CARAT* makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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