BAM Bamboo Clothing

BAM is a UK clothing brand that makes activewear and outdoor wear for women and men. Its range includes leggings, yoga pants, base layers, jackets, socks and boxers, made with bamboo, organic cotton and other natural fibres. The brand is a certified B Corp. BAM worked with life cycle analysts Green Story to measure the impact of its garments against conventional cotton equivalents, covering emissions, water use and pesticide use. The brand says it traces its supply chain back to raw materials and ships most goods by sea or road rather than by air. It describes its garments as PFAS-free, recyclable and traceable, and it publishes annual impact reports and social reports. Good On You rates BAM Good overall: It's a Start for planet, It's a Start for people and Good for animals. It reports that the brand uses renewable energy in its supply chain, avoids plastic packaging and offers resale of secondhand items. Good On You also notes that final production takes place in countries with a high risk of labour abuse and that living wages are not ensured across most of the supply chain.
