SCODY

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• 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 recycles some 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 SCODY “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Most of its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• It traces some 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 SCODY makes products that are 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 SCODY “It’s a Start” overall.
