Dedicated

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it recycles some of its textile offcuts.
• It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
• Its packaging is recyclable.

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

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• More than half its final production stage is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• 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 Dedicated “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
