Overall rating: Good

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 Po-Zu “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • To minimise waste, it recycles its textile offcuts.
  • To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.
  • For leather tanning, it avoids the chemical-heavy chromium process, which mostly renders leather non-recyclable and non-biodegradable.

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 Po-Zu “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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 Po-Zu “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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