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 LOVE BRAND & Co “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
  • To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.

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 LOVE BRAND & Co “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

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 LOVE BRAND & Co “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate LOVE BRAND & Co “Good” overall.
