• Universal Works provides limited information about its supply chain, including details about its manufacturing partners in the UK and Portugal. While it emphasises traditional craftsmanship, it lacks comprehensive visibility into its supply chain.
  

• Universal Works ensures fair wages and safe working conditions through partnerships with manufacturers in the UK and Portugal. However, there is limited public data on whether all workers are consistently paid living wages.

• Universal Works has initiatives to reduce waste, including using recycled and recyclable packaging materials. However, more comprehensive reporting on specific environmental initiatives and achievements would improve their score.

• Universal Works uses a proportion of sustainable materials, including organic cotton and recycled fibres, in their products.

Universal Works’ 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 Universal Works a reasonable choice. Still, it would be best if you remained aware of the brand’s ongoing progress and areas needing further enhancement.
