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


Etnia Barcelona's environment rating is 'not good enough'. It uses few eco-friendly materials. There is no evidence it reduces its carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain. There is no evidence it minimises textile waste when manufacturing its products. There is no evidence it ensures wastewater is treated and discharged.

Its labour rating is 'good'. Its final stage of production is undertaken in Spain, a medium risk country for labour abuse. It states it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly share it. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain.

This brand makes products that are generally free of animal materials so it is not applicable to rate its impact on animals. We calculate the overall rating from environment and labour scores only.

Etnia Barcelona is rated it's a start overall.
