Nimble is a brand that is making waves in the sustainability world. With a focus on environmental policies and worker’s rights, Nimble has earned a “Good” rating in our “Planet” category. Let’s take a closer look at what factors have influenced this rating.
Environmental Impact
One of the key factors in Nimble’s positive rating is its use of lower-impact materials, including recycled materials. By incorporating these materials into its products, Nimble is helping to reduce waste and conserve resources. Additionally, the brand uses low-impact materials that limit the use of chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
Another important aspect of Nimble’s environmental efforts is its decision to complete the first and second stages of production closer to home. By reducing the distance that materials need to travel, Nimble is able to minimize its carbon footprint and lessen its climate impact. This commitment to local production shows a dedication to sustainability.
Worker’s Rights
Worker’s rights are a central focus of our “People” rating, and Nimble has received an “It’s a Start” rating in this category. While there are areas where improvements can be made, Nimble has made some positive strides.
Most of Nimble’s final production stage happens in Taiwan, which is considered a medium-risk country for labor abuse. While this is not ideal, Nimble has taken steps to address workers’ rights by having a formal statement that covers this important issue.
One area where Nimble can improve is in ensuring that workers are paid living wages in its supply chain. While there is no evidence to suggest that Nimble does not pay fair wages, it is important for brands to be transparent and take steps to ensure fair compensation for workers.
Nimble also visits its suppliers, although the frequency of these visits is not stated. Regular visits to suppliers can help ensure that workers’ rights are being upheld and that labor standards are being met.
Animal Welfare
As Nimble’s products are generally free of animal-derived materials, our “Animals” rating does not apply to this brand. However, it is still important to note that Nimble does not use any animal-derived materials in its products, contributing to the overall sustainability of the brand.
Overall Rating
Nimble’s overall rating is a reflection of both its environmental and labor scores. Based on the information we have reviewed, including publicly available data, Nimble has received an “It’s a Start” rating overall.
While there are areas where improvements can be made, Nimble is making efforts to prioritize sustainability and worker’s rights. By using recycled and low-impact materials, as well as sourcing production closer to home, Nimble is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact. And while there is room for improvement in worker’s rights, Nimble has a formal statement and visits suppliers to ensure compliance.
Overall, Nimble is a brand on its way to greater sustainability and worker’s rights. With continued efforts and improvements, Nimble has the potential to achieve even higher ratings in the future.
