Koryphae

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including linen.
• It uses low-impact dyes in some of its products.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• 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 Koryphae “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statment covering workers rights.
• 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 Koryphae “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 Koryphae “It’s a Start” overall.
