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 Max Mara “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• There’s no evidence it’s taken any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity 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 Max Mara “Very Poor”. Unfortunately, Max Mara does not publish sufficient information. 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 Max Mara “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

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

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Max Mara “We Avoid” overall.
