• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it disclosed adequate policies 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 Jack London “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
