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 Y.O.U Underwear “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• Its entire final production stage is certified by Fairtrade International - Small Producers Organisations and Social Accountability International - SA8000.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Y.O.U Underwear makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Y.O.U Underwear “Good” overall.
