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

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials.
  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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

  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • It traces most of its Supply Chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.

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

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use exotic animal hair.
  • It uses recycled wool in all of its wool products.
