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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain..
• Every step of the life cycle for all of its products has circular principles fully embedded including for design, materials, production techniques, and end of life.
• 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 HNST “It's a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

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 HNST “Good��. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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