MODHER

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 MODHER “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.

• It uses tanneries that are Leather Working Group Silver certified.

• There’s no evidence it’s taking any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.

• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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

• Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.

• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.

• • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.

  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 MODHER “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn't appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.

  Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate MODHER “It's a Start” overall.
