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 Gamine Workwear “Good”. These are a few issues influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It produces long lasting products.
  • It uses low-impact dyes in some of its products.

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 Gamine Workwear “It’s a Start”. These are a few issues influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • 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 Gamine Workwear “It’s a Start”. These are a few issues influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather and wool.
  • It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
