Douglas

Douglas is owned by Douglas Group.

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions to wastewater, ingredients' impacts, product circularity, and more. Here we rate Douglas “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact ingredients including certified organic, but it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it's minimising the environmental impact of product packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• It could be using palm oil, but it has not disclosed any information regarding responsible sourcing that mitigates environmental impacts.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Douglas “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn't disclose where its final production stage occurs.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• It has an internal grievance mechanism for workers in its supply chain to anonymously report concerns like harassment and unpaid wages.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Note that the "People" rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

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 Douglas “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses animal-derived ingredients in its products.
• It appears to use ingredients derived from farmed animals, including collagen.
• It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.
• It does not have a certification, policy, or statement against the use of animal testing in its supply chain.

Based on all the publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Douglas “We Avoid” overall.
