  • It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises solvent-based chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
