Overall rating: It's a start

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 CityZen “Not Good Enough�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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 CityZen “It's a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It traces most of 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 CityZen “Great�. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CityZen “It's a Start� overall.
