CONFIDENCE LOW · SCORED JULY 2026
Across the 8 apparel records we have read, scores run 9.8 to 85.5, and the middle is 57.8. This one sits 7th of 8.
There is no pass mark. A score is a position among the records we can check, not a verdict on a company.
Six areas, each carrying a fixed weight toward the total. The figure on the right of each row is what this company's own public record supports. An area we could not read says so rather than scoring zero.
What the certifications this brand holds actually cover. Weighted 20 of 100.
How far down the supplier list the disclosure reaches. Weighted 20 of 100.
Measured emissions, targets, and the scopes covered. Weighted 20 of 100.
Material choice, recycled content, and end-of-life. Weighted 15 of 100.
Whether the public claims match the underlying evidence. Weighted 15 of 100.
Reuse, repair, take-back, and recovery in practice. Weighted 10 of 100.

Where the points are
Ranked by how much score is still on the table, not by how low the number looks. These three are worth 55 points between them — more than any other combination of work available to Altra.
Add the certificates you already hold. Most brands lose points here for documents that exist but were never filed.
Most of a carbon number lives in the supply chain, not the building. Supplier answers move this dimension faster than anything else.
Material, recycled content, and end-of-life. Spec sheets from your packaging supplier are usually enough to move this.

What we noticed
These are observations from the assessment, not accusations. Each one is a place where the public claim and the available evidence don't line up yet.
