How sustainable is Billabong?

Billa­bong is an Aus­tra­lian surf­wear brand. It’s part of Boar­dri­ders Inc., which is the mother com­pa­ny of a group of skate, surf and sports­wear brands.

Unfor­tu­na­te­ly, none of the Boar­dri­ders brands offer any rele­vant infor­ma­tion about their ope­ra­tions. When a brand doesn’t offer any infor­ma­tion, there are seve­ral risks you take as a consu­mer. For example, the cli­mate impact of that par­ti­cu­lar brand or pro­duct can be much higher com­pa­red to its indus­try peers. The com­pa­ny might use cer­tain harm­ful che­mi­cals or there might be ani­mals or humans har­med for the manu­fac­tu­ring of its pro­ducts. For these rea­sons, we believe that you should be aware of how pro­ducts are pro­du­ced and how a com­pa­ny as a whole ope­rates in regard to our pillars. When there’s no trans­pa­ren­cy, you are at risk of sup­por­ting some or more of the pre­vious­ly men­tio­ned harm­ful conditions.
