Imperfect Pointes

• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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

• Its final production stage happens in Italy and United Kingdom
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It audits some of 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. Since Imperfect Pointes makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined People and Planet scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Imperfect Pointes “Good” overall.
