NoMiNoU

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 NoMiNoU “Good”. 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.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to minimise microplastic 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 NoMiNoU “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Canada, a low risk country for labour abuse.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of 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 NoMiNoU 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 NoMiNoU “Good” overall.
