  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

  • Its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.

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 Mantas Ezcaray “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It has a formal policy aligned with the Five Freedoms of animal welfare but no clear implementation mechanisms in place.
  • It appears to use leather, and exotic animal hair.
