• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

• It appears to use leather, shearling, and down.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, fur, angora, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.
• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
