Fair Indigo

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 Fair Indigo “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low-impact materials that help limit chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It uses recycled packaging.

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

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct, but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.

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

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use alpaca.
