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


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

  • It uses some lower impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses some recycled packaging.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce its climate impacts.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Parachute “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Part of its final production stage is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • 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 Parachute “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 shearling.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.
