Melbourne maker of packs, rainwear and tents.
ONE PLANET makes these lines in different places, so each has its own grade rather than one for the whole company.
Packs, rainwear, gaiters and down sleeping bags On Track
Pays or is working towards a living wage, with gaps still to close.
ONE PLANET makes its packs, rainwear, gaiters and down sleeping bags in its own factories in Australia, where labour laws are strong and legal wages are about a living wage. It carries the Australian Made label.
Tents, synthetic sleeping bags, fleece and footwear Lacks transparency
Shows little about where or how its products are made.
ONE PLANET doesn't say where its tents, synthetic sleeping bags, fleece and footwear are made. Most clothes and shoes are made in countries such as China and Bangladesh, where pay is usually below a living wage and unions are heavily restricted.

Graded by product line
Each line is graded on its own countries and certifications. Problems found anywhere count against every line unless they clearly belong to one.

| Tents, synthetic sleeping bags, fleece and footwearMade by overseas partners in countries it doesn't name. | Lacks transparency | Not confirmed Source |
It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and unaudited production, probably in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade. |

Evidence
What we found across the company
- Uses cotton in only a few products, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good. It doesn't show where its cotton comes from. The "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
- Owns or runs its own production
- Modern slavery statement
Research notes ONE PLANET (Adventure One Pty Ltd) makes its backpacks, rainwear, gaiters, down sleeping bags and accessories at its own factory in Sunshine West, Melbourne, where it has manufactured since 2005. Its tents, synthetic sleeping bags, fleece and footwear are made overseas by long-term partner manufacturers, but it does not name those factories or countries or the share made abroad. It publishes a voluntary modern slavery statement and a supplier code requiring legal wages, and says it visits key suppliers and reviews their social audits when available, but gives no audit results, wage data or certification; no labour abuses have been reported.
