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 Bon Label “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It manufactures most of its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.

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

  • Part of its supply chain is certified by Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA), and Fairtrade Textile Standard.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
  • It’s not clear if 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 Bon Label “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 Bon Label “Good” overall.
