Troubadour's environment rating is 'good'. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. It uses vegetable tanned leather. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'not good enough'. It has a Code of Conduct that covers all of the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles. It does not disclose where its final stage of production occurs. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. There is no evidence it audits its suppliers.

Its animal rating is 'not good enough'. There is no evidence it has an animal welfare policy. It uses leather. It does not use wool, exotic animal hair, fur, down, angora or exotic animal skin.

Troubadour is rated 'It's a start' overall.
