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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
  • It uses recycled packaging.
  • It minimises volatile organic chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in medium risk countries for labour abuse.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some 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 Sarah Flint “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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