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

  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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

  • Its products are made in-house by the owner.
  • It mostly traces its Supply Chain.
  • 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 Herdentier “Great�. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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