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 Offbeat Sweetie “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• 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.
• It audits its suppliers but does not state what percentage.
