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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.
  • It takes action to reduce process greenhouse gas emissions in its first production stage.
  • 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 Seek Collective “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It provides jobs for workers from disadvantaged communities.
  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain including all of the final stage of production.
  • It is unclear whether it ensures payment of a living wage 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 Seek Collective “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use wool, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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