noesa

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• It partly traces its final production stage, though not its entire supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its 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 noesa “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.
