• There’s no evidence it implements practices to support diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

• It appears to use leather and wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, exotic animal skin, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• It has a formal policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.
