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 Toscane “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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 Toscane “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 Toscane “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, wool, 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.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Toscane “Not Good Enough” overall.
