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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.
• There’s no evidence it’s set a target to manage water use in its supply chain.

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

• More than half its final production stage is certified by Fair Wear Foundation.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, alpaca, and down.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere, wool, and down.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, shearling or mohair.
• It has a formal policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.
