Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
- 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.
Good requirements 1 of 6

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 Stutterheim says its coats are designed in Stockholm and made in continental Europe, having first been sewn in Sweden. It names no countries or factories, but several retailers list its raincoats as made in Poland. It publishes no supplier code of conduct, audit programme, supplier list or living wage commitment. Its classic raincoats use a PVC-coated cotton and polyester fabric, with no information on where the cotton comes from.
