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

• It traces all of its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It provides leadership programs for women in its supply chain, which can lead to promotions and higher wages.
