Boma

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• It uses biodegradable packaging.
• It offers recycling to consumers to help address end-of-life waste.

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 Boma “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Some of its supply chain is certified by Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance.
• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• 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 Boma makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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