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 Kiabi “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It follows an unsustainable fast fashion model due to its consistently low price points and very large number of products
• It uses some lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• It's set an absolute reduction target to decrease the overall water use 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 Kiabi “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• 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. Here we rate Kiabi “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather and wool.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• It uses few animal-derived materials.
