TERAS

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• To minimise waste, it reuses its textile offcuts.
• 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 TERAS “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged backgrounds.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• 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 TERAS “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 leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
