MANDALA

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• 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 MANDALA “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its supply chain is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, and Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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. Since MANDALA makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate MANDALA “Good” overall.
