Noonday Collection

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 Noonday Collection “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic 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 Noonday Collection “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partners with artisans/independent makers from around the globe
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It visits its suppliers regularly.
• It ensures some workers in the final production stage are paid living wages, though not in its entire 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 Noonday Collection “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, wool, exotic animal hair, horn, and pearl.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
