• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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 Big Bud Press “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in the US, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Big Bud Press “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.
