H BAR C

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including Tencel.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
• It produces long-lasting products.
• 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. Unfortunately, H BAR C does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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 H BAR C “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 leather, and wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
• It uses few animal-derived materials.
