Miakoda

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 Miakoda “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 manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• To minimise waste, it reuses most 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 Miakoda “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It’s not clear if it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

Since Miakoda makes products generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on people and planet.

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