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 Porter Blue “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
- It takes action to reduce process Greenhouse Gas Emissions during manufacturing.
- It uses recycled packaging.
- It's eliminated most hazardous chemicals from 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 Porter Blue “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It doesn't disclose where its Final Stage of Production occurs.
- There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
- It partly traces 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 Porter Blue “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 Porter Blue “It's a Start” overall.
