When asked to provide information on the proportion of products that are certified or come from socially audited factories, ensure you report to the nearest tenth if the precise amount isn’t available. Note that you will need to provide publicly accessible evidence to verify the information you report on these proportions. Learn more about evidence requirements here.
You may track such metrics internally in various ways, such as by season, reporting year, current production, or what’s currently available for sale. We recommend reporting product proportions for a selection of products over a 12 month period rather than anticipated production. Most brands determine the proportion of certified products by the total volume of products purchased in the reporting period.
