• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.

• It’s published a biodiversity protection policy that applies to some of its supply chain.
• It’s set a target to eliminate hazardous chemicals after 2025 but does not disclose whether it is on track.

• Its social auditing program is accredited by the Fair Labor Association (FLA).

• It provides leadership programs for women in some of its supply chain, which can lead to promotions and higher wages.

• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it disclosed policies 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 Uniqlo “It's a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It has a formal policy aligned with the Five Freedoms of animal welfare and clear implementation mechanisms in place.
• It appears to use leather and exotic animal hair.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
