Evidence
What we found
- Uses recycled metals or fibres
- 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 Sunday Supply Co. does not say where its towels, robes or umbrellas are made and publishes no supplier list, code of conduct, audit results or wage commitments. Its sustainability page covers materials only: Better Cotton (BCI) for its towelling, FSC-certified timber umbrella poles, recycled-plastic canopies and OEKO-TEX certified manufacturers, which is a product safety label, not a labour standard.
