"As a small new brand, we have always worked to be the best we can. We have prioritised our quality and fabrics, which means we can't always use sustainable fabrics all the time, but we have worked very hard to do so as the brand has grown with collection 10.5 being over 50% of sustainable fabrics."- Bound
- Bound provides limited information about its supply chain, including some details about its manufacturing partners. A more detailed breakdown of their supply chain and audit results would be beneficial.
- The brand’s Code of Conduct aligns with key labour rights principles, but limited public data exists on adherence to these principles and whether all workers are consistently paid living wages.
- The brand employs eco-friendly production processes, including low-impact dyes and water-saving technologies. More comprehensive reporting on specific environmental initiatives and achievements would improve their score.
- Bound uses many sustainable materials, including organic cotton and recycled fibres, in its products. While the brand emphasises sustainable materials, more detailed information on the specific certifications of these materials would enhance its score.
Bound’s use of sustainable materials, such as organic cotton and recycled fibres, is commendable, but the brand could benefit from more detailed and frequent reporting on its labour practices, supply chain, and third-party audit results. Consumers looking for fashion that aligns with their values of sustainability and ethicality will find Bound a reasonable choice but should remain aware of the brand’s ongoing progress and areas needing further enhancement.
