Overall rating: It's a start

Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It takes actions 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. Unfortunately, Rye Tender does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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

  • It appears to use recycled exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It uses recycled wool in all of its wool products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

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