Elkline

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals from its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.

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 Elkline “Not Good Enough”. Unfortunately, Elkline does not publish sufficient information on the most critical labour issues. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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

• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It uses few animal-derived materials.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Elkline “It's a Start” overall.
