Penti

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to minimise microplastic impacts.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.

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

• Part of its final production stage is certified by Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI.
• It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• It has not taken sufficient steps to remediate its links to cotton sourced from Xinjiang, a region in China at risk of Uyghur forced labour.

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

• It appears to use wool, cashmere, and angora.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, or down.
