Groceries Apparel

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste 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 Groceries Apparel “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its products are made in-house by the owner.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Groceries Apparel “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 Groceries Apparel “Good” overall.
