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 Wolvis “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
- To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
- It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
- It uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified packaging.
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 Wolvis “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- All of its final production stage happens in Belgium and Czech Republic.
- It traces most of its supply chain.
- It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
- It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
- It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
- 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 Wolvis “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
- It appears to use wool.
- Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
- It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
- It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Wolvis “Good” overall.
