Jungmaven

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production. 
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.

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

• Most of its final production stage happens in United States of America.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights. 
• It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

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

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use wool.
• It uses some recycled or certified alternatives to conventional down.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, fur, angora, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair.
