There is no evidence it minimises packaging. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. Its final stage of production is undertaken in the USA, a medium risk country for labour rights. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. It traces most of its supply chain including all of the final stage of production. It ensures payment of a living wage in some of its supply chain but does not state what percentage. It audits some of its supply chain but does not specify what percentage.
