• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.

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

• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It does not disclose where its final stage of production occurs.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

• It uses few animal derived materials in its products.
• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
