BONDI BORN

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 BONDI BORN “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It avoids plastic packaging.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.

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 BONDI BORN “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain, but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

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 BONDI BORN “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate BONDI BORN “Good” overall.
