HoMie's environment rating is 'it's a start'. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including upcycled materials. There is no evidence it minimises packaging. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. Most of its factories are audited and reported through Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces some of its supply chain including all of the final stage of production.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use any animal products but it does not state that it's vegan.

HoMie is rated 'Good' overall.
