TRIP1

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 TRIP1 “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score: 

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate TRIP1 “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final and some of its second production stages happen in Japan, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It audits some of its supply chain.
• 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.

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 TRIP1 “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use wool and exotic animal hair. 
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate TRIP1 “It’s a Start” overall.
