Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic linen.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its Supply Chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It avoids plastic packaging.

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:

  • Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a Living Wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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.
