CRUSH

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its manufacturing.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• 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 CRUSH “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, angora, exotic animal hair, and silk.
• Responsible Wool Standard certifies some of the wool it sources.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CRUSH “It’s a Start” overall.
