Dora Larsen

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it reuses all of its textile offcuts.
• It provides Guppyfriend bags or similar options to help consumers capture the microplastics shed during washing.
• 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 Dora Larsen “It's a Start”. 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.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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. Since Dora Larsen makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined Planet and People scores.

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