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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it has set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
  • It uses compostable packaging.

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

  • Much of its final stage is located in certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It ensures some workers in the final production stage are paid a living wage, but not throughout its entire supply chain.
  • During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

  • There's no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
  • It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, down, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair.
  • It uses few animal-derived materials.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Lorna Jane “Not Good Enough” overall.
