  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.

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. Unfortunately, BLACK BY MOUSSY does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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 BLACK BY MOUSSY “Not Good Enough”. 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 wool, down, and exotic animal hair.
  • It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
  • There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.
