WAWWA

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 WAWWA “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.

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 WAWWA “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in the UK and Portugal, lower risk countries for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It audits around 50% of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 WAWWA “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate WAWWA “Good” overall.
