We’re excited to share that BEDI is now rated “Great” by Good On You, the world’s leading platform for ethical and sustainable fashion ratings.
This is the highest score a brand can receive, and it means a lot to us. Since day one, we’ve been committed to creating better products— ones that care for the planet, the people who make them, and the communities where they’re worn. This rating is a reflection of that ongoing effort.
So what does “Great” actually mean?
Good On You evaluates fashion brands based on three key areas: how they treat the planet, how they treat people, and how they handle animal welfare. Their ratings are based on independent standards and publicly available information, and only a small percentage of brands receive a “Great” overall score.
BEDI received the highest possible marks for both Planet and People, and a strong rating of Good in the Animals category.
How we earned this score
Here are a few of the reasons behind the rating:
For the Planet:
We use low-impact and recycled materials whenever possible.
We reuse our own textile offcuts to reduce waste.
Our products are made in small, seasonless batches to avoid overproduction.
We also work with partners who use renewable energy in their operations.
For People:
We trace most of our supply chain and have regular face-to-face relationships with our suppliers.
Final production takes place here in Canada, where labour protections are strong.
Our Code of Conduct aligns with international labour standards.
We’re proud to support local communities and continue to work toward better wages and conditions throughout our supply chain.
For Animals:
We use only recycled leather in our products.
The wool we use is certified by the Responsible Wool Standard.
We avoid materials like down, fur, angora, and exotic animal skins.
Our animal welfare policy follows the Five Domains model for animal well-being.
Why this matters
We don’t believe in fast fashion or flashy sustainability claims. What matters to us is doing the work, being transparent about where we stand, and continuing to move forward. Being recognized by Good On You is a meaningful milestone for us, and a reminder of what’s possible when sustainability is built into every step of the process.
Thank you for supporting us on this journey. We’re proud to be building something different, and we couldn’t do it without you!
