The Common Good Company

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 The Common Good Company “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled cotton. 
• Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It produces long-lasting products.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate The Common Good Company “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• Part of its final production stage is certified by Social Accountability International - SA8000 and Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• 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 The Common Good Company “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan. Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate The Common Good Company “Great” overall.
