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 Up-Fuse “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • 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.
  • Its packaging is recyclable.

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 Up-Fuse “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It partners with female artisans or women-owned enterprises.

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 Up-Fuse “Good�. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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