ColieCo

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 ColieCo “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• It uses recycled packaging.

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

• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It has a Code of Conduct that covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It ensures some workers in the second production stage are paid living wages, though not through its entire 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 ColieCo 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 ColieCo “Great” overall.
