Cottonique scored “Great” for the Planet according to GOOD ON YOU based on factors including:

  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

  • It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use in its supply chain.

In a category where greenwashing is common, these specifics matter. They point to operational choices, not just marketing language.

Why Cottonique scored 5/5 for People?

The People rating focuses on workers’ rights, labor protections, and supply chain oversight—such as audits, wage standards, and traceability.

  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO principles.
