GRAMMAR

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• Its use of lower-impact materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• To minimise waste, it recycles most of its textile offcuts.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate GRAMMAR “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in the US, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It audits some of its suppliers but does not specify what proportion.
• It is unclear whether 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 GRAMMAR “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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

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