Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Obus's environment rating is it's a start. It uses a medium proportion of eco-friendly materials including organic cotton. There is no evidence it is taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. However its use of eco-friendly materials reduces its climate impact and limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'good'. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain. It visits its suppliers regularly.

Its animal rating is it's a start. It does not use fur, down, exotic animal skin, exotic animal hair or angora. It uses leather and wool.

Obus is rated 'good' overall.
