The True North score for Chaos is driven by its full Canadian ownership and domestic strategic control via its parent company, Do-Gree Fashion Ltd. While profits and high-level management remain within the Canadian economy, the physical manufacturing and material sourcing reflect a globalized production model. This structure balances domestic capital retention with international industrial operations.
