OZWEAR CONNECTION Sustainability Actions

Sells lower-impact materials

Good On You says the brand uses some lower-impact materials, including recycled materials. It also notes that the brand tries to reduce volatile organic chemicals, which are substances that can harm workers and the environment during production. This shows some effort to lower impact in materials and manufacturing, but the rating body also says the brand does not publish a full breakdown of the materials it uses, so the picture is still incomplete.

Sets emissions targets

Good On You reports that the brand has set a science-based target to cut greenhouse gas emissions in both its own operations and its supply chain. A science-based target is a climate goal that follows a method used by climate experts. The same source says the brand claims it is not on track to meet that target. That means the goal exists, but progress appears to be behind schedule.

Recycles textile offcuts

Good On You says the brand recycles some of its textile offcuts, which are leftover pieces of fabric from production. Reusing these scraps can help reduce waste. The rating body also says the brand has set a target to eliminate hazardous chemicals after 2025 and claims it is on track. This suggests some action on waste and chemical use, although the source does not give full data on how much waste is recycled.

Publishes sustainability reports

The brand page linked in search results points to a sustainability report history for the related company name shown in the material, but the OZWEAR CONNECTION site itself does not clearly show a public sustainability report in the provided content. Because of that, there is not enough evidence here to confirm a brand-specific ESG report for OZWEAR CONNECTION. The available evidence is stronger for product sales than for public sustainability disclosure.

Uses animal-derived materials

Good On You says the brand appears to use leather, shearling, wool, cashmere, and down. It also says some animal-derived materials may come from recycled or certified alternatives, and that the brand states it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep. Non-mulesed wool means the sheep were not subjected to a painful procedure called mulesing. This is an animal welfare-related action, but the source still says the overall evidence is limited.

Worker complaint channel

Good On You says the brand has an internal grievance mechanism for workers in its supply chain. A grievance mechanism is a way for workers to report problems such as harassment or unpaid wages without naming themselves. The same source says the brand audits some of its supply chain, including all of the final production stage. These are basic labour oversight steps, but the source also says there is no evidence of living wage coverage across the supply chain.

Publishes supplier code

Good On You says the brand’s Code of Conduct covers ILO principles. The ILO, or International Labour Organization, sets global labour standards on issues like child labour, forced labour, and fair treatment. The source also says the brand disclosed some worker-protection policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. These steps show some formal labour rules, but the rating body still sees gaps in supplier transparency and wage protection.

Uses certified facilities

Good On You says some of the brand’s final-stage production is in low-risk countries or certified facilities. Certified facilities are factories that have been checked against a standard by an outside body. The source does not list which certifications apply, and it also says the brand does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers. So the action is real, but the public detail is limited.
