Base Bodywear Sustainability Actions

Uses some lower-impact materials

Good On You says Base Bodywear uses some lower-impact materials, including organic cotton. That means at least part of its product range uses cotton grown with stricter rules than conventional cotton, which can reduce some farming impacts. The rating body still found too little evidence that the brand is taking strong action on water use or on cutting hazardous chemicals in manufacturing. So this is a real sustainability step, but it looks limited rather than broad.

Makes products closer to home

Good On You notes that Base Bodywear manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping. This can lower transport emissions compared with moving goods across the world. The same assessment also says the brand’s final production stage happens in Australia, which Good On You treats as a lower-risk country for labour abuse. That does not prove the whole supply chain is low risk, but it is a positive sign in the available information.

Visits suppliers regularly

Good On You says Base Bodywear visits its suppliers regularly. Supplier visits can help a brand spot problems in factories and keep closer track of working conditions. However, the same source says there is no evidence that the brand has a formal Code of Conduct or that it ensures living wages in its supply chain. So the supplier visits are a useful action, but the public evidence still looks thin.
