Sustainability

score : Coming soon

SOKO's commitment to environmental sustainability mostly entails incorporating recycled and reclaimed materials into its production. The brand primarily uses recycled brass, which reduces the need for virgin material extraction. To achieve a silver finish, the brass undergoes chrome-plating, which includes a water-reuse system during electroplating for enhanced resource efficiency.

In addition to recycled brass, SOKO uses reclaimed horn and bone, which are byproducts of the local food industry and further reduce waste. Their wood components are sustainably harvested in South Sudan, where trees are carefully grown over 50-year cycles, and responsible harvesting practices ensure long-term sustainability for future generations.

While these efforts are commendable, the company does not yet provide detailed public data regarding its carbon emissions, renewable energy use, or broader environmental impact assessments, leaving room for greater transparency.
