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 Prada “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.

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 Prada “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
• It received a score of 11-20% in the 2022 Fashion Transparency Index.
• It has a basic policy to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations and supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 Prada “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, exotic animal skin, wool, down, angora, and exotic animal hair.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur.
• There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.
