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 RESIDUS “Good�. 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.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It uses some recycled 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 RESIDUS “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • 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 RESIDUS “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses recycled wool in all of its wool products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
