• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It uses some recycled packaging.

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

• Some of its supply chain is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• 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 Panafrica “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal hair.
