Rapanui Clothing scores 45/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Rapanui Clothing joint 248th of 809 companies scored, and joint 16th of 40 in Apparel (Durable / Outdoor).
Rapanui operates a genuinely circular apparel model with owned renewable energy and closed-loop manufacturing, but lacks formal emissions accounting and science-based targets. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 GHG inventory published. Unverified 'carbon neutral' claim undermines credibility despite strong operational practice.
