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 Po-Zu “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • To minimise waste, it recycles its textile offcuts.
  • To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.
  • For leather tanning, it avoids the chemical-heavy chromium process, which mostly renders leather non-recyclable and non-biodegradable.

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 Po-Zu “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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 Po-Zu “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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