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


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 Wolf and Zephyr “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified packaging.
  • It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.

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 Wolf and Zephyr “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces some of its supply chain.
  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • 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. Since Wolf and Zephyr 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 Wolf and Zephyr “It's a Start” overall.
