SKFK

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 SKFK “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
• To minimise plastic waste, it uses packaging that consumers can repurpose and reuse.

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

• Much of its supply chain is certified by Fairtrade International - Small Producers Organisations, and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It ensures some workers in its supply chain are paid living wages.

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

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use wool, and exotic animal hair.
• It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
