Unfolded

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 Unfolded “Good". These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it’s taken any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, its products are made to order.
• It avoids plastic packaging.

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

• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• Its entire final production stage is certified by Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of its supply chain.

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 Unfolded “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It uses few animal-derived materials.
