Emma's Emporium

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 Emma's Emporium “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• 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 taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• To minimise waste, it reuses all of its textile offcuts.

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 Emma's Emporium “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
• 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 Emma's Emporium “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Emma's Emporium “It's a Start” overall.
