Do Good Surf Club

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 Do Good Surf Club “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• Its packaging is recyclable.

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 Do Good Surf Club “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• Part of its final production stage is certified by Social Accountability International - SA8000.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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. Since Do Good Surf Club makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Do Good Surf Club “Great” overall.
