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 Kilomet109 “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It uses low-impact dyes in most of its products.
  • It manufactures 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 Kilomet109 “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its products are made in-house by the owner.
  • It partners with artisans and independent makers from Vietnam.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It’s not clear if 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 Kilomet109 “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
