hernest project

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 hernest project “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials.
• 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 uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
• It uses compostable packaging.

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 hernest project “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its primary stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• It provides leadership programs for women in its supply chain, which can lead to promotions and higher wages.

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 hernest project “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 hernest project “Good” overall.
