The Summer House's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton. It produces long lasting products. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. It traces most of its supply chain. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It visits its suppliers regularly.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use leather, wool, down, angora, fur, exotic animal skin or exotic animal hair. It uses silk.

The Summer House is rated 'Good' overall.
