There is no evidence it reduces its carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain. There is no evidence it implements water reduction initiatives. There is no evidence it minimises textile waste when manufacturing its products.
Its labour rating is 'not good enough'. It has a Code of Conduct that covers all of the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles. It does not disclose where all of its final stage of production occurs. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It audits some of its suppliers but does not specify what percentage.
Its animal rating is it's a start. It has a formal animal welfare policy aligned with Five Freedoms but has no clear mechanisms of implementation. It uses leather and exotic animal hair. It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep but there is no evidence on how it is enforced. It does not use angora, fur or exotic animal skin.
