NEOCOCO

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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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

• All of its final production stage happens in the United States of America.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It has a social mission to provide jobs to refugees.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• 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 NEOCOCO “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool and silk.
• It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It uses few animal-derived materials.

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