Krys

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials.

• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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

• Its final production stage happens in France, a medium risk country for 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 implements practices to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations or supply chain.

• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Since Krys makes products generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on people and planet.
