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


FISCH's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. It manufactures locally to reduce its carbon footprint. There is no evidence it minimises packaging. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'not good enough'. Its final stage of production is undertaken in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain including all of the final stage of production.

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.

FISCH is rated 'It's a start' overall.
