NN.07

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 NN.07 “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It avoids plastic packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water 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 NN.07 “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage.
• It ensures some workers in the final production stage are paid living wages, though not through its entire 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 NN.07 “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, and down.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consists of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool and down.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, shearling or exotic animal skin.
• It has a formal policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate NN.07 “It's a Start” overall.
