DoDo is owned by Kering.

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 DoDo “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain, and it claims it’s on track.
  • It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • It has a policy to protect biodiversity throughout its supply chain.

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 DoDo “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
  • It received a score of 41-50% in the 2022 ʹapp Transparency Index.
  • It provides leadership programs for women in its supply chain, which can lead to promotions and higher wages.
  • It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of its supply chain.
  • During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it disclosed adequate policies to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 DoDo “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It has a formal policy aligned with the Five Domains of animal welfare.
  • It appears to use leather, and silk.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
  • It traces some animal-derived materials to the first production stage.

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