Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 Dominique Healy “Great”. 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.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufacturers its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 Dominique Healy “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Most of its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • 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 Dominique Healy “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses recycled wool in some of its wool products.
  • It appears to use silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
