Ethletic

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• Every step of the life cycle for all of its products has circular principles fully embedded including for design, materials, production techniques, and end of life.
• It minimises volatile organic chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
• 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 Ethletic “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• 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 Ethletic “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Ethletic “Good” overall.
