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 Osei-Duro “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including Lenzing Ecovero.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
  • It uses lower-impact dyes in some of its products.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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 Osei-Duro “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It partners with artisans in Ghana.
  • It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities.
  • 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 Osei-Duro “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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