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

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
  • It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.

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

  • It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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 Théla “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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