Glassworks

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 Glassworks “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• There’s no evidence it’s taken any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• Its final production stage happens in South Korea, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 Glassworks “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, wool, down, angora, exotic animal hair, and pearl.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Glassworks “Not Good Enough” overall.
