Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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

  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There’s no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • 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 Dick Moby “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.

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