Myer Sustainability Actions

Good On You rating published

Good On You has assessed Myer’s house apparel brand and given it an overall rating of "Not good enough." The assessment says Myer uses few lower-impact materials and has not shown meaningful action to cut or remove hazardous chemicals from manufacturing. It also says there is no evidence of strong biodiversity protection in the supply chain. Good On You is a fashion rating site that reviews public information on environmental and labour practices.

Renewable energy in stores

Good On You says Myer uses renewable energy in its direct operations, such as stores or offices. However, it also says there is no evidence that this extends into the wider supply chain, which is the network of factories, farms, and transport used to make and move products. That means the brand may have cleaner energy use in its own buildings, but the bigger climate impact from making products is still unclear.

Code of Conduct covers labour rights

Good On You says Myer’s Code of Conduct covers the ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms, which are basic labour rights set by the International Labour Organization. This is a positive sign on paper, because it shows the brand has some formal rules for suppliers. But the same assessment says little of the supply chain is certified by key labour standards, and there is no evidence of living wages being paid across the supply chain.

Animal materials are partly traced

Good On You says Myer appears to use leather and wool, and that it traces some animal-derived materials to the first production stage. That means it can follow part of the material path back to where it first enters production, but not necessarily all the way through the full supply chain. The assessment also notes that Myer does not appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
