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 Silq Rose “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including linen.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • Its packaging is recyclable.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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 Silq Rose “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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

  • It appears to use exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

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