Suncoo

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials; however, it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• Its packaging is recyclable.
• It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use. 

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

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct, but does not publicly disclose it.
• It audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage.
• 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 Suncoo “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, alpaca, and mohair.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, cashmere, down, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Suncoo “Not Good Enough” overall.
