People of Leisure

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 People of Leisure “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its Supply Chain.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• Its final production stage happens in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.
• 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 People of Leisure “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate People of Leisure “Good” overall.
