Wemoto

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 Wemoto “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• 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 Wemoto “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It partly traces 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.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

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 Wemoto “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
