Paris fashion brand known for its pink bow-tie logo and polos.
Eden Park can't show that the workers who make its products in Peru earn a living wage, which workers there are very unlikely to.
Also worth knowing
It has no full independent audit.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and a hidden, unaudited supply chain in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence
What we found
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes Eden Park does not publish a supplier list or its current production countries. In 2020 its founder said products are made in Portugal and Eastern Europe, with Pima cotton polos made with partner factories in Peru; its own commitments page names only Peruvian Pima cotton and Italian fabrics. It describes in-house quality testing and Oeko-Tex materials but no supplier code, social audits or living wage commitment, and Good On You rates its labour practices very poor (2025). It has no public labour rights cases on record.
