Dirts

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials, including organic cotton.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It offers resale of second hand products.
• It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• Most of its final production stage happens in Portugal, a medium risk country for labour abuse. 
• Much of its supply chain is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
• It traces most of its supply chain. 
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Dirts “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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