Treekid

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 Treekid “Great”. 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 uses compostable packaging.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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

• Some of its supply chain is certified by Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA), including its entire final production stage.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• It’s not clear if 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 Treekid “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Treekid “Good” overall.
