CARPASUS

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• To minimise plastic waste, it uses packaging that consumers can repurpose and reuse.

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

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• Part of its final production stage is certified by Social Accountability International - SA8000.
• 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 CARPASUS “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
