Wires

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 Wires “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• To minimise waste, it reuses all of its scraps.
• It uses some recycled packaging.
• 3D printing technology helps reduce its water use.

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

• Some of its supply chain is certified by WFTO Guarantee System, and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• It ensures some workers in the final production stage are paid living wages, though not in its entire supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Wires makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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