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 Lylou the label “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including Tencel Lyocell.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • 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.
  • 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 Lylou the label “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • It partly traces 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.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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 Lylou the label “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Lylou the label “It’s a Start” overall.
