Earth Squared

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 Earth Squared “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its Supply Chain.
• It provides evidence on its efforts to minimise packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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

• It provides jobs to workers from disadvantaged backgrounds in Vietnam.
• It partly traces 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.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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

• It appears to use leather, wool, and silk.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
