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 Bethany Williams “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It avoids plastic 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 Bethany Williams “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the UK and Italy, medium risk countries for labour abuse.
  • It has a mission to improve social conditions and provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It’s not clear if 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 Bethany Williams “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use wool and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Bethany Williams “Good� overall.
