Evans

How ethical and sustainable is Evans? 

Evans is a below-benchmark brand in The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Ratings.

Evans is a fashion brand based in the UK and sells clothes globally. It specialises in plus-size garments and is owned by AK Retail Group. The brand receives a low Good Shopping Guide score in our Ethical Fashion Retailers Ratings Table. Although Evans has not yet met our Ethical Benchmark, we hope to see the brand make progress in the future.

In what areas does Evans perform poorly? 

Despite Evans’ progress, there is still room for improvement. The brand was marked down under our criteria for the Environment and People in particular.

Evans also stocks no certified-Organic products and is not a member of the Better Cotton Initiative.

How can Evans brand improve its Ethical Rating?

The Good Shopping Guide score results from multiple ethical criteria in relation to Evans. To reach our minimum Ethical Benchmark and qualify for Ethical Accreditation, Evans has some issues to resolve. In particular, it must begin to track and publish its impact on the planet using a comprehensive Environmental Report. For example, tracking carbon emissions helps a brand to achieve carbon neutrality, as Britain and British businesses aim for carbon neutrality by 2050.
