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 The Glade “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including Tencel Lyocell.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • 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 The Glade “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It visits its suppliers regularly.
  • 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 The Glade “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate The Glade “Great” overall.
