Supply-chain summary
Under the Nile sources its organic biodynamic cotton from the SEKEM Initiative Farm in Egypt, a partnership since 1998, and as of 2023 Under the Nile is fully owned by SEKEM. SEKEM contracts delta farmers, gins the cotton, makes the cloth and sews the garments and toys itself, so Under the Nile runs a closed, single-owner value chain from Egyptian biodynamic field to finished baby product.

How it was read
Throne identifies the eligible textile products in Under the Nile's catalogue, inspects each product for published material evidence and requires at least 20 scoreable textile SKUs before publishing a brand score. The score uses only products with enough published material information to classify. Brand non-disclosure and technical read failures are reported separately. Non-textile products are excluded rather than counted as a pass or a fail.

Coverage method pre dash fix
Every product listed in the brand's live catalogue is retrieved and its stated fibre composition read individually - from the product page, the store's own product data and its material labels. A fibre percentage is published only when 100% of the catalogue has been read. Items with no clothing textile (gift cards, packaging, jewellery, homeware) are excluded from the percentage rather than counted as a pass or a fail.
