True Tribe

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled 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, it limits its production runs.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 True Tribe “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• 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 True Tribe “It's a Start” overall.
