• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified 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 Derbe “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its final stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• 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 Derbe “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Derbe “Good” overall.
