NUDEA

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials, and it publishes an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It offers clothing recycling to consumers to help address end-of-life textile waste.
• It uses renewable energy in its supply chain to reduce its climate impact.
• Its packaging is recyclable.
• It uses some recycled packaging.

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

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse..
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It visits its suppliers regularly.
• 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. Since NUDEA makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

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