Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions to wastewater, ingredients' impacts, product circularity, and more. Here we rate The Perfume Shop “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact ingredients.
• It’s set a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.
• It has no policy to evaluate the biodegradability and environmental toxicity of its ingredients.
• It recycles product packaging and discloses the amount.
• A medium proportion of its palm oil is RSPO-certified.

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 The Perfume Shop “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its final stage is located in lower-risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It provides modern slavery awareness training for its suppliers.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Note that the "People" rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

• It states that its entire product range is vegan.
• It claims that it's a cruelty-free brand.
