wHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO SCORE 100%?To score a 100% a brand would need to disclose all information listed in the 51-60% descriptor, include material sourcing information down to the raw materials, and disclose the number of workers in their supply chain covered by collective bargaining or democratic trade unions. These brands would factor their environmental and social impacts into their business model. Lastly, detailed information regarding spotlight issues including the gender wage gap and how women's issues are being addressed in the supply chain would be disclosed. What do I do with this information?Know that the top scoring brands are those that are accountable for their environmental and social impacts and have policies in place to protect their workers and our planet.
