Our Ratings Table can help you to learn more about the criteria that a brand needs to meet before it can reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark.

The Good Shopping Guide suggests that all brands follow in the footsteps of our top-rated brands and adopt more sustainable policies.

What does Anthropologie receive a top rating for?

Due to its lack of negative records, Anthropologie receives a top rating for our Armaments and Fossil Fuels categories.

What does Anthropologie receive a bottom rating for?

Unfortunately, Anthropologie receives a bottom rating in many of our categories including its Timber Sourcing Policy and Environmental Report.

Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie’s parent brand has an ‘Our Impact’ page which discusses sustainable fashion commitments. However, this page only refers to the Urban Outfitters brand and not the entire company.  This means that there is currently no public information on Anthropologie’s sustainability commitments.

The brand also doesn’t provide any information on its timber sourcing commitments and does not offer any FSC-certified furniture products, resulting in a bottom rating for Timber Sourcing Policy.

What can Anthropologie do to improve its score? 

Anthropologie’s low score within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Furniture sector is the result of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria. To improve its ethical rating, Anthropologie could start by publishing its sustainability goals and commitments on its website.
