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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials.
  • It uses a medium proportion of Bluesign certified fabrics.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its Supply Chain.
  • It’s set a science based target to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.

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 Save the Duck “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Some of its supply chain is certified by Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI, including its entire final production stage.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • 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 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 Save the Duck “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan.
