Widda

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials, including Lenzing Ecovero.
• 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.
• It uses some recycled packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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

• Most of its final production stage happens in Portugal and Poland, medium risk countries for labour abuse. 
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Widda “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
