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 Mason Garments “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • It claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries but doesn’t specify details about its certification.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • 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.
  • It traces some of 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 Mason Garments “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather and wool.
  • It doesn’t appear to use exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
