Oeuf is a New York-based design and manufacturing firm with a globalized supply chain. Its True North score reflects that ownership, strategic control, and primary production take place outside of Canada.

True North: 90/100

Indigo Kids maintains a high True North score due to its domestic ownership and centralized Canadian management. As a sub-brand of a major Canadian retailer, the majority of its economic value is retained within the country through local operations and ownership. While it sources products globally, the strategic and capital foundations are firmly domestic.
