GOT BAG

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.

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 GOT BAG “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.
• 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 GOT BAG “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 GOT BAG “It's a Start” overall.
