Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate
Folk's environment rating is 'it's a start'. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including organic cotton. There is no evidence it minimises packaging. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.
Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It audits some of its suppliers including all of the final stage of production.
Its animal rating is 'not good enough'. It uses leather, wool, down and exotic animal hair. It does not use fur, exotic animal skin or angora.
Folk is rated 'It's a start' overall.
