Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 MCM “Not Good Enough”. 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’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • 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.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.

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

  • There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
  • There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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

  • It has a formal animal welfare policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.
  • It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, and down.
  • It doesn’t appear to use exotic animal skin, fur, angora, shearling, alpaca, or mohair.

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