Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


Our “Planetâ€� 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 °­±ôä³Ù³Ù±ð°ù³¾³Ü²õ±ð²Ô “Greatâ€�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its Supply Chain.
  • It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
  • To minimise plastic waste, it uses packaging that consumers can repurpose and reuse.

Workersâ€� rights are central to our “Peopleâ€� rating, which assess brandsâ€� policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate °­±ôä³Ù³Ù±ð°ù³¾³Ü²õ±ð²Ô “Not Good Enoughâ€�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It does not disclose where its Final Stage of Production occurs.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brandsâ€� animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animalsâ€� rating. Here we rate °­±ôä³Ù³Ù±ð°ù³¾³Ü²õ±ð²Ô “Goodâ€�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use silk.
  • Responsible Down Standard certifies the down it uses.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate °­±ôä³Ù³Ù±ð°ù³¾³Ü²õ±ð²Ô “Goodâ€� overall.
