Raven + Lily

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 Raven + Lily “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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 Raven + Lily “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• 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 Raven + Lily “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, angora, fur, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Raven + Lily “It's a Start” overall.
