BELLA+CANVAS

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 BELLA+CANVAS “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower impact materials.
• It takes some action to reduce water use in the second production stage.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• To minimise waste, it reuses all of its textile offcuts.

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 BELLA+CANVAS “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Some of its Supply Chain is certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production - WRAP, including its entire final production stage
• It partly traces most of its supply chain.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• There’s no evidence 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 BELLA+CANVAS “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 BELLA+CANVAS “It's a Start” overall.
