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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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

  • Its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use wool, exotic animal feathers, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, fur, or angora.

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