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 KITX “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower impact-materials including recycled materials.
  • It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
  • It uses some bluesign certified fabrics.
  • It uses compostable 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 KITX “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including most of the final and second stages of production.
  • 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 KITX “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, wool, exotic animal hair, and silk.
  • It doesn't appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
  • Responsible Wool Standard certifies some of the wool it sources.

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