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

  • It surrports artisans and marginalised women in its supply chain.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
