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 Peak Performance “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of bluesign certified fabrics.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.

  • It provides a confidential complaints mechanism for workers in its supply chain to report suspected modern slavery.
  • It audits its suppliers but does not state how often.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its 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 Peak Performance “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Responsible Down Standard certifies the down it uses.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
