Reporting Company |  GODS GODSThe Material Change Index (MCI) is based on a companys management practices as well as the adoption rate of preferred fibers and materials and steps made towards the circular use of textiles. The MCI is the result of the overall performance of a company that completed the full MCI survey, based on an assessment of Strategy (25%), Material Portfolio (65%) and Circularity (10%). The MCI requires a company to report on all priority materials from the options provided. |  Strategy StrategyBusiness Integration - Materials reflects a company’s materials sustainability strategy and how it is integrated into the core of its business and management systems. The score for Strategy is derived from a company’s response to questions on Materials Strategy, Leadership, Internal Engagement, Materiality, Customer Engagement and Reporting. |  Circularity CircularityBusiness Integration - Circularity Index reflects a company's progress towards designing, building, and tracking progress towards a circular textile system. The score for Circularity is derived from a company’s response to questions on Circularity Strategy, Business Models, Resource Efficiency, Design for Circularity, Textile Collection and Recycled Content. Circularity is embedded in the overarching MCI result and normalized to a score out of 100 to form the Circularity Index. |  SDGs SDGsThe SDG Index reflects progress against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is derived from a cross-cutting score that draws selected SDG-related results aggregated from Strategy (85%), Materials Portfolio (2.5%), and Circularity (12.5%) sections of the benchmark. This is then normalized to a score out of 100 to create the SDG Index. Sustainable Development Goals: a framework to be implemented by all countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership around a set of 17 specific, aspirational goals that address the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. |  Vegetal resin Vegetal resinVegetal resin is durable, flexible, and light. It is made from castor oil, a greener alternative to standard plastic (acetate). Brands like Lacoste are using 40% of vegetal resin to produce their sunglasses. It’s indeed great news for someone looking at a greener option to choose an eyewear brand.CottonThe Cotton Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Cotton Module. The Cotton Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred cotton. The preferred cotton portfolio is aligned with the 2025 Sustainable Cotton Challenge and includes the following programs: organic cotton, recycled cotton, and (in alphabetical order) cotton grown to the requirements of BASF e3, the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), bioRe standards, Cotton made in Africa (CmiA), Fair Trade or Organic Fair Trade, Field 2 Market, ISCC Certified, myBMP, CottonConnect's REEL, Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC), Responsible Brazilian Cotton (ABR), and the US Cotton Trust Protocol. |  M49 M49The Polyester Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Polyester Module. The Polyester Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred polyester. The preferred polyester portfolio includes biobased and recycled polyester.PolyesterThe Polyester Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Polyester Module. The Polyester Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred polyester. The preferred polyester portfolio includes biobased and recycled polyester. |  Hexetate HexetateHexetate is an eco-friendly material that is increasingly embraced by the eyewear industry because it is made with recyclable materials and does not contain BPAs (a chemical compound used to produce plastic). It is a very durable material that is employed in myriad other industries. Its flexibility and scratch resistance make it an ideal component for frames. It’s also about 10% lighter than acetate.PolyamideThe Polyamide Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Polyamide Module. The Polyamide Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred polyamide (nylon). The preferred polyamide portfolio includes biobased and recycled polyamide (nylon). |  Fibrous FibrousFibrous residues come from plants such as hemp, flax, rice, and straw. When combined with post-consumer recycled plastic, it reduces waste and CO2 output. These materials have also enabled organisations to work in partnership with farmers and waste management crews to find alternatives to disposable materials.Manmade CellulosicsThe Manmade Cellulosics Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Manmade Cellulosics Module. The Manmade Cellulosics Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred manmade cellulosics. The preferred manmade cellulosics portfolio includes acetate, lyocell, model, and viscose with forestry certification (e.g., FSC, PEFC), and recycled cellulose. This Index is also influenced by important work by CanopyStyle and the ZDHC. | Recycled stainless steel Recycled stainless steelMetal frames made from recycled stainless steel are durable, anticorrosive, and light while providing a sophisticated, timeless look. Botaniq a well-known European brand, has many sustainable materials and uses recycled stainless steel as a product to make metal eyewear.WoolThe Wool Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Wool Module. The Wool Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred wool. The preferred wool portfolio includes organic wool, recycled wool, and wool certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), ZQ Certified, and the Land to Market Ecological Outcomes Verification (EOV) developed by the Savory Institute. | Recycled plastic Recycled plasticMaking eyewear from recycled plastic found in ocean debris is another way of making eyewear and thus helping clear marine waste and in the process enrichening marine lives. Today brands like Sea2See and Oceanides, a Spanish startup, are doing some great work making eyewear out of marine waste.DownThe Down Index is part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Down Module. The Down Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred down. The preferred down portfolio includes organic and recycled down programs, and down certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), the Traceable Down Standard (TDS), and Downpass Certified. | Natural PX & 3D Natural PX and Natural 3DNaturalPX and Natural 3D (PA11) are both bio based plastics made from renewable castor oil, opposite to non-renewable petroleum-based resources that are damaging to the environment. At the moment, biobased plastics only make up 0.5% of all manufactured plastics world-wide. So it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go in developing and utilising materials that do not deplete the planet’s precious mineral resources. Brands like NEUBAU are known to use Natural PX & Natural 3D to make their eyewear.LeatherAfter an initial pilot, the Leather Index is now part of the Material Change Index (MCI) family of indices and is derived from the company's responses to the Leather Module. The Leather Index is a holistic consideration of both management and uptake of preferred leather. The preferred leather portfolio includes organic and recycled leather, leather produced to the Leather Working Group (LWG) with a focus on tanning, and the Land to Market Ecological Outcomes Verification (EOV) developed by the Savory Institute. | Titanium TitaniumTitanium can also be considered as a sustainable material, because it does not deteriorate, it can be used forever and is easy to recycle. Due to its high strength and low density, products can be made small and light which avoids the unnecessary use of energy resources. |  Wood WoodTitanium can also be considered as a sustainable material, because it does not deteriorate, it can be used forever and is easy to recycle. Due to its high strength and low density, products can be made small and light which avoids the unnecessary use of energy resources. | Bamboo BambooTitanium can also be considered as a sustainable material, because it does not deteriorate, it can be used forever and is easy to recycle.
