VOZ

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its Supply Chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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

• It sources its Final Stage of Production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
• It claims it ensures payment of a Living Wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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 VOZ “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 wool, exotic animal hair, and silk.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
