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 TJ Indigo Clothing Co “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It uses compostable 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 TJ Indigo Clothing Co “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • 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 TJ Indigo Clothing Co “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, wool, exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate TJ Indigo Clothing Co “It’s a Start” overall.
