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 Edeline Lee “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.
  • 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 Edeline Lee “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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 Edeline Lee “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, recycled exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Edeline Lee “Good” overall.
