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

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • While there’s no evidence it has dedicated climate change policies, its use of lower-impact materials reduces its climate impacts and minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.

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

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 KOKOLU “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 KOKOLU “It's a Start” overall.
