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 ALTER X Company “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It uses low-impact dyes in all of its products.

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 ALTER X Company “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Some of its supply chain is certified by Social Accountability International - SA8000, including its entire final production stage.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • Its final production stage happens in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • It ensures some workers are paid a living wage.

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 ALTER X Company “Good�. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate ALTER X Company “Good� overall.
