Transparency
DMY by DMY only works with production partners who operate responsibly as it pertains to the social and environmental aspects of its supply chain.

Water Management
We are still exploring how we can work with DMY by DMY to evaluate and manage their water footprint.
Materials
All of DMY BY DMY’s sunglasses are made from cellulose acetate, a material derived from wood and cotton fibers. Unlike most typical synthetic plastics, cellulose acetate breaks down after use into cellulose and acetic acid. In addition, acetate is produced in sheet form which is later hand-cut, thus avoiding emissions from machinery.
Workers’ Rights
DMY by DMY is committed to making sure that workers in its supply chain are treated with dignity and respect, and that they are compensated fairly. To that end, the brand’s suppliers operate in compliance with International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards for health and safety - and demands that all of its production partners operate accordingly.
