We evaluate brands based on three key areas: Eco Impact (focusing on environmental sustainability), Human Fairness (assessing the brand’s treatment of people across the supply chain), and Animal Treatment (considering practices related to animal welfare). Each criterion is designed to provide a holistic view of a brand’s ethical practices.
Our team researches publicly available information, including company reports, third-party certifications, and other reputable sources. We score each brand across our criteria based on these findings and create an overall rating that reflects their commitment to ethical practices.
We aim for transparency and use evidence-based assessments to ensure our ratings are reliable. We also continuously update our information to reflect the latest data. Our commitment is to provide accurate, impartial ratings to help you make informed choices.
We regularly review and update our ratings to account for any changes in a brand’s policies or practices. Brands that improve their ethical practices or address issues may see their scores reflect these positive changes.
A lower rating indicates that the brand has room for improvement in certain areas of ethical responsibility. It doesn’t mean they’re “bad,” but rather that they may not yet fully meet our standards across all criteria. We encourage brands to take steps toward improvement.
No. Our evaluations are independent, unbiased, and based solely on publicly available information and objective data. We do not accept payments or partnerships that could influence our ratings.
