Mien's environment rating is 'great'. It uses a high proportion of eco-friendly materials including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) cotton. It manufactures locally to reduce its climate impact. It has a limited production run to minimise textile waste. Its use of eco-friendly materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.

Its labour rating is 'it's a start'. Its final stage of production is undertaken in the USA, a medium risk country for labour abuse. There is no evidence it has a Code of Conduct. It is unclear whether it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain. It traces most of its supply chain.

Its animal rating is 'good'. It does not use any animal products but it does not state that it's vegan.

Mien is rated 'Good' overall.
