Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


CARPASUS' environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton. There is no evidence it minimises textile waste. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. Most of its final stage of production is undertaken in Portugal, a medium risk country for labour abuse. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use leather, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair or exotic animal skin. It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep but there is no evidence on how it is enforced.

CARPASUS is rated 'Good' overall.
