CASUPO

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
• To minimise plastic waste, it uses packaging that consumers can repurpose and reuse.
• It claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries but doesn’t specify details about its certification.

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

• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• Its final production stage happens in United States of America.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.

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

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
• It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
