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 Wolven “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials.
  • It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
  • Its packaging is recyclable.

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

  • Its final production stage is certified by Workplace Condition Assessment (WCA).
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • 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 Wolven “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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