Heading in the right direction. Workers are paid enough to live on, or the company is certified as working towards it, and there are no serious warning signs. One piece is still unproven. What this grade means
Good: 4 of 5
- Pays a living wage
- Respects worker rights
- Full supply chain audit, or made only in countries with rigorous labour standards

- Publishes where its products are made (supplier list, named farms or its own factories)
Great: 0 of 3
- Pays beyond a living wage
- Finds and fixes problems, or invests directly in workers' communities
- Actively empowers workers
Needs all Good requirements plus two of these.
Red flags: 1

Where it's made
| Country | Worker rights | Legal wages | Forced labour risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| India 50% | Systematic violations | Well below a living wage | High |
| China 50% | Systematic violations | Below a living wage | Moderate |
Country conditions from the ITUC Global Rights Index, Global Slavery Index and living wage benchmarks. Certifications and audits can raise a company above its countries' baseline.
Why this grade
- GOTS organic: Organic textile standard with social criteria; audits are announced and living wage is not required.
- Fairtrade cotton: Covers cotton farming, not garment factories.
- Publishes supplier list
