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 Flare Street “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• All of its final production stage happens in Australia.
• 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 but it has a formal statement covering workers’ rights.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 Flare Street “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.
