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.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It avoids plastic packaging.

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:

• Much of its final production stage happens in the 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:

• It appears to use wool and down.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional down.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair.
