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


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 Cécile Jeffrey “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 Cécile Jeffrey “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the UK, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • 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. Here we rate Cécile Jeffrey “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
  • It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
