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


Women'secret is owned by Tendam.

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

  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.

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 Women'secret “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its entire final production stage is certified by Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI.
  • It received a score of 21-30% in the 2023 Fashion Transparency Index.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it disclosed adequate policies to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Women'secret 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 Women'secret “Not Good Enough” overall.
