Oy

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 Oy “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It avoids plastic packaging.

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

• Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
• 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. Since Oy 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 Oy “Good” overall.
