Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


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 Fair Indigo “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low-impact materials that help limit chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It uses 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 Fair Indigo “It's a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
  • It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct, but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages 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 Fair Indigo “It's a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use alpaca.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, wool, cashmere, mohair, or down.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Fair Indigo “Good� overall.
