Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Original Weekend's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. There is no evidence it minimises packaging. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. There is no evidence it investigates and reports on safety incidents. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. It is unclear whether it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain.

This brand makes products that are generally free of animal materials so it is not applicable to rate its impact on animals. We calculate the overall rating from environment and labour scores only.

Original Weekend is rated 'Good' overall.
