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 Syncs.earth “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
  • It produces long-lasting products.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Japan, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It audits some of its suppliers.

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

  • 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 Syncs.earth “Good” overall.
