menique

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 menique “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It uses renewable energy in its supply chain to reduce its climate impact.
• It avoids plastic packaging.
• It uses biodegradable 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 menique “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• All of its final production stage happens in Lithuania.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• 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. Here we rate menique “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool and cashmere.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
