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


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

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic linen.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
  • To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.

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

  • Its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • 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.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • 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 FollowMeFS “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, wool, and exotic animal hair.
