Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 Citizen Wolf “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • Every step of the life cycle for all of its products has circular principles fully embedded including for design, materials, production techniques, and end of life.
  • It manufacturers its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 Citizen Wolf “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Much of its supply chain is certified by Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA), including its entire final production stage.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.

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 Citizen Wolf “Good”. 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.
  • Responsible Wool Standard certifies the wool it sources.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Citizen Wolf “Good” overall.
