RESIDUS

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 RESIDUS “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including Tencel Lyocell.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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 RESIDUS “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in lower risk countries for labour abuse, however it doesn't publish an aggregate breakdown of supplier locations.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 RESIDUS “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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

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