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 Rive Droite “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its Supply Chain.
  • It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
  • The brand prioritises recyclable textiles by minimising its use of fibre blends.
  • 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 Rive Droite “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces all of its supply chain.
  • It finances independent seamstresses in Morocco to set up their own workshops.
  • It’s not clear if 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 Rive Droite “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 Rive Droite “Good� overall.
