Ebony Bolts

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 Ebony Bolts “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.

• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

• Digital printing technology helps reduce its water use.

• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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 Ebony Bolts “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.

• Its products are made in-house by the owner.

• 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 Ebony Bolts “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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