Pico

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 Pico “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials, including organic cotton, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used
• 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 uses renewable energy in its supply chain to reduce its climate impact.
• It provides evidence on its efforts to minimise 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 Pico “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Some of its final stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers
• It audits most of its supply chain.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It ensures some workers in the final production stage are paid living wages.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Pico makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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