Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and unaudited production, probably in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

- Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards
- Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
- Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list
- Not met: High-risk raw materials (cotton) traced or certified, or not a major part of its rangeNot traced or certified: cotton

Evidence
What we found
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes In The Style does not publish a factory list or say which countries its clothes are made in. As a listed company in 2021 it said products came from a small group of suppliers bound by a code of conduct, that it had begun mapping Tier 1 suppliers and used Fast Forward labour audits; it has changed owners twice since. Good On You rates its labour practices 2 out of 5 (February 2024): it audits only part of its supply chain and shows no evidence of living wages. It has no living wage commitment or certification.
