Overall rating: It's a start

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

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
  • It uses recycled packaging.
  • It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.
  • 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 Hēdoïne “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the UK and Italy, medium risk countries 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 Hēdoïne “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Hēdoïne “It's a Start” overall.
