WE-AR4

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 WE-AR4 “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
• 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 uses compostable packaging.

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 WE-AR4 “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.
• 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 WE-AR4 “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use exotic animal hair and silk.
• It uses recycled wool in most of its wool products.
• It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
• It uses either recycled or Responsible Down Standard certified down in all of its down products.
