Maje

Maje is owned by SMCP.

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It’s set a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain, and it claims it’s on track.
• There’s no evidence it’s set a target to manage water use in its supply chain.
• While it offers resale of secondhand products, there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to address textile waste 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 Maje “Not Good Enough”. Unfortunately, Maje does not publish sufficient information on the most critical labour issues. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, and alpaca.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere and wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, mohair, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.
• It has a formal policy aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.

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