SUSAN BIJL's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. It uses Bluesign certified fabrics. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'very poor'. It does not publish sufficient relevant information about its labour policies to give a higher rating. As a shopper you have the right to know how its products impact on its workers.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use any animal products but it does not state that it's vegan.

SUSAN BIJL is rated 'It's a start' overall.
