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 The Blue Suit “Great�. 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 trains its designers to improve the circularity of its products.
  • It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.

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 The Blue Suit “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It traces most of 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 The Blue Suit “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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