Non

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on their environmental policies and practices in their supply chains. When it comes to Non, we are pleased to rate them as “Great”. This high rating is influenced by several factors:

• Non utilizes a significant amount of lower-impact materials, including organic cotton. By using these materials, they are able to reduce their environmental impact.
• The brand also focuses on using low impact materials throughout their supply chain. This helps limit the use of chemicals, water, and wastewater, contributing to a more sustainable approach.
• To minimize waste, Non reuses all of their textile offcuts. This not only reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also reduces the need for new materials.
• Non prioritizes the use of recycled packaging. By choosing this option, they are able to reduce the consumption of new resources and contribute to a circular economy.
• Water conservation is another important aspect of Non’s sustainability efforts. The brand recycles water to minimize water use in their supply chain, further reducing their environmental impact.

When it comes to workers’ rights, our “People” rating assesses brands’ policies and practices on various aspects, such as child labor, living wages, and gender equality. For Non, we have rated them as “It’s a Start”. Here are a few factors that influenced this rating:

• Non traces most of its supply chain, showing a commitment to transparency and accountability.
• While there is no evidence of Non having a specific Code of Conduct, they do have a formal statement that covers workers’ rights. This is a positive step towards ensuring fair working conditions.
• Non claims to ensure the payment of a living wage in its supply chain. However, they do not define what constitutes a living wage, which leaves room for improvement.
• The brand visits its suppliers, although they do not specify how often. Regular visits are crucial in monitoring working conditions and addressing any issues that may arise.

Animal welfare policies are an important consideration for brands, especially if they use animal-derived materials. In the case of Non, we have rated them as “Good” in our “Animals” rating. Here’s why:

• Non does not appear to use any animal-derived materials in their products. While they do not claim to be a vegan brand, this is a positive aspect for those who prioritize animal welfare.
• Based on the publicly available information we have reviewed, Non receives an overall rating of “Good” from us. This shows that they are taking significant steps towards sustainability in multiple aspects of their operations.

It’s encouraging to see brands like Non taking the necessary measures to ensure their environmental and social impact aligns with sustainable practices. By prioritizing lower-impact materials, waste reduction, and workers’ rights, Non serves as an example for others in the industry to follow. While there is always room for improvement, their commitment to transparency and positive change is commendable.
