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

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

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

  • It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities.
  • Some of its supply chain is certified by the Fairtrade Textile Standard.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It’s not clear if 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 Known Supply “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use wool and exotic animal hair.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
