Overall rating: Good

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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
  • It provides evidence on its efforts to minimise packaging.
  • It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
  • In some of its shoe production, it uses water based glues, which can be safer for workers and the environment.

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

  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • Some of its supply chain is certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production - WRAP including all of the final stage of production.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • 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 CARIUMA “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It has an animal welfare policy aligned but is not aligned with the Five Domains.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, exotic animal hair, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

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