Jack Wolfskin is owned by Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp..

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 Jack Wolfskin “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
  • It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
  • 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. Here we rate Jack Wolfskin “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its entire final production stage is certified by Fair Wear Foundation.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • Its initiatives help provide financial security for its suppliers, which can ensure better job conditions for workers.
  • 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.
  • It has not taken sufficient steps to remediate its links to cotton sourced from Xinjiang, a region in China at risk of Uyghur forced labour.

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 Wolfskin “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use leather, wool, and down.
  • A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool and down.
  • It doesn’t appear to use shearling, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair.
  • It states that it sources wool from non-mulesed sheep.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Jack Wolfskin “It's a Start” overall.
