Yuki

Yuki Threads is an Aus­tra­lian snow­board brand that was foun­ded in 2010. The brand is acti­ve­ly pro­mo­ting sus­tai­na­bi­li­ty, which is reflec­ted in its mate­rial use. Yuki Threads uses ful­ly orga­nic cot­ton, either GOTS cer­ti­fied or Fair­trade, lar­ge­ly recy­cled poly­es­ter and Blue­si­gn-appro­ved fabrics. On top of that, it’s also a mem­ber of 1% for the Planet.

Not transparent enough

There’s still a lack of trans­pa­ren­cy. It’s unclear where Yuki Threads’ pro­ducts are made, and there’s insuf­fi­cient infor­ma­tion avai­lable to ensure that human rights are ful­ly upheld throu­ghout the sup­ply chain. Besides that, there are no cer­ti­fi­ca­tions for the ani­mal-deri­ved mate­rials, and the brand is not trans­pa­rent about its car­bon emis­sions. It’s a pity that a brand like Yuki Threads, that posi­tions itself as sus­tai­nable, is not more trans­pa­rent about its pro­duc­tion. When the brand pro­vides more infor­ma­tion about how it makes its pro­ducts, its rating may increase signi­fi­cant­ly. But at the moment, we don’t have enough infor­ma­tion to recom­mend them as a sus­tai­nable option.
