Frugi

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 Frugi “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It offers clothing recycling to consumers to help address end-of-life textile waste.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.

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

• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It doesn't disclose where its final production stage occurs.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• It traces most of 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 Frugi “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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