Dirty Velvet's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton. There is no evidence it minimises textile waste. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. Its factories are Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI certified. It does not disclose where its final stage of production occurs. It traces all of its supply chain. It is unclear whether it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use any animal products but it does not state that it's vegan.
