EMILY WEEK is owned by Baycrew's.

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 EMILY WEEK “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.

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

  • 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 provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • There’s no evidence it implements practices to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations or supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It’s taken insufficient steps to remediate its links to cotton sourced from Xinjiang, a region in China at risk of Uyghur forced labour.

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 EMILY WEEK “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use wool, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
  • There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate EMILY WEEK “Not Good Enough” overall.
