Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


West Activewear's environment rating is 'it's a start'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including recycled materials. There is no evidence it minimises textile waste when manufacturing its products. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'not good enough'. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain.

This brand makes products that are generally free of animal materials so it is not applicable to rate its impact on animals. We calculate the overall rating from environment and labour scores only

West Activewear is rated 'It's a start' overall.
