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 Living Crafts “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • It uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified packaging.

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 Living Crafts “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Much of its supply chain is certified by Fair Wear Foundation, and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It’s not clear if it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it implements practices to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations or supply chain.
  • During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

  • It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
  • There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.
