Oobi

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 Oobi “It's a Start”. 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 water use.
• It uses low-impact dyes in some of its products.
• While it donates unsold clothes to charity, there’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

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

• Some of its supply chain is certified by Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance, including its entire final production stage.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers' rights.
• 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 Oobi “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 Oobi “It's a Start” overall.
