Po-Zu

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 Po-Zu “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• To minimise waste, it recycles its textile offcuts.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.
• For leather tanning, it avoids the chemical-heavy chromium process, which mostly renders leather non-recyclable and non-biodegradable.

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 Po-Zu “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It visits some of its suppliers.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 Po-Zu “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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