Finsbury

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

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use. 
• There’s no evidence it minimises solvent-based chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• 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 Finsbury “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in medium risk countries for labour abuse, however it doesn't publish an aggregate breakdown of supplier locations.
• 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.
• 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 Finsbury “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, exotic animal skin, shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.

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