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 Maggie Marilyn “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taken any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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 Maggie Marilyn “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
  • There’s no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
  • 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 Maggie Marilyn “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use shearling, wool, cashmere, 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, leather, alpaca, or mohair.
  • It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Maggie Marilyn “Not Good Enough” overall.
