Opera Sport

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 Opera Sport “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It uses some recycled 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 Opera Sport “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Some of its final stage is located in certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• 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 Opera Sport “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool and cashmere.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere and wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, or down.
