Our People Rating: Not Good Enough
At Sustain by Kat, we recognize the importance of workers’ rights and fair labor practices. However, we have received a rating of “Not Good Enough” in our “People” rating. While we have a formal statement covering workers’ rights, there are certain factors that have influenced our score:
- No evidence of a Code of Conduct
- Partial supply chain traceability
- Uncertainty regarding living wages in the supply chain
- Audit of only a portion of the supply chain without specifying the percentage
While we strive to ensure fair labor practices throughout our supply chain, we acknowledge that there is room for improvement in these areas. We are committed to addressing these concerns and taking appropriate measures to enhance our performance.
Our Animals Rating: Good
Animal welfare is a significant aspect of our sustainability efforts. In our “Animals” rating, we have received a rating of “Good.” Here are some of the factors that have influenced our score:
- Use of silk
- No use of leather, wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair
By avoiding the use of materials that are derived from animals and demonstrating our commitment to cruelty-free practices, we aim to promote ethical treatment of animals within the fashion industry.
