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


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 By Walid “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 By Walid “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Most of its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • It traces all of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages.

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 By Walid “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use wool, recycled fur, recycled exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use down, angora, or exotic animal skin.

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