The SUSS Edit's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including organic cotton. It has a limited production run to minimise textile waste. 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 'not good enough'. Its final stage of production is undertaken in Portugal, a medium risk country for labour abuse. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. There is no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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

The SUSS Edit is rated 'Good' overall.
