Frske

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 Frske “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 Frske “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• 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 Frske “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses recycled wool in most of its wool products.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Frske “Good” overall.
