Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


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 Syncs.earth “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • It uses low-waste cutting techniques to maximise fabric use.
  • It produces long-lasting products.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Japan, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • It audits some of its suppliers.

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

  • 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 Syncs.earth “Good� overall.
