Threads 4 Thought

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 Threads 4 Thought “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
• It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

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 Threads 4 Thought “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Some of its supply chain is certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production - WRAP, including its entire final production stage.
• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in 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 Threads 4 Thought “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Threads 4 Thought “Good” overall.
