Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 Edie Parker “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • 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 Edie Parker “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • 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.

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 Edie Parker “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 Edie Parker “It’s a Start” overall.
