Our “Planet�� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Mango “It’s a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• To minimise waste, it recycles some of its textile offcuts.
• It implements water reduction initiatives in some of its supply chain.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.

Workers�� rights are central to our “People�� rating, which assess brands�� policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Mango “It’s a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It incentivises its suppliers to improve labour conditions in its supply chain.
• It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of its supply chain.
• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

Brands�� animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals�� rating. Here we rate Mango “It’s a Start��. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather and exotic animal hair.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Mango “It’s a Start�� overall.
