Where does HACOY score well?

HACOY receives a top rating for its Environmental Report which includes multiple pages of sustainable initiatives which can be found on its website here. HACOY employs a circular economy principle where clothes are designed to be redesigned at the end of their life cycle, therefore reducing the number of clothes going to landfill every year.

To this end, HACOY also offers rental services, repairs and even a resell option where they will buy back their clothes from you. These extra practices distinguish HACOY as a true Ethical Innovator in the fashion sector.

HACOY also achieves a top rating in our Animals category for having a robust animal welfare policy that rules out important issues such as mulesing.

What makes HACOY so ethical?

HACOY doesn’t just perform well in relation to the environment. HACOY also demonstrates strong ethical business practices with respect to human rights and working conditions. This is another key issue in the fashion industry with big-name brands being notorious for human and workers’ rights violations.

HACOY has a clean record relating to Human Rights, Fossil Fuels, Armaments, Political Donations or Public Record Criticisms.

HACOY uses sustainable materials in both its clothing and packaging. Notably, GOTS-certified organic cotton. Organic cotton is more sustainable than non-organic options because it uses significantly less pesticides and fertilisers, meaning less chemical run-off and subsequent pollution.
