Promod

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

• It follows an unsustainable fast fashion model due to its consistently low price points and regular heavy discounts
• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s set a target to manage water use 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 Promod “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

• It appears to use leather, wool, alpaca, and mohair.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of certified alternatives to conventional mohair.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, cashmere, down, angora, fur, or exotic animal skin.
• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Promod “Not Good Enough” overall.
