Mon Chou

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 Mon Chou “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• The brand prioritises recyclable textiles by minimising its use of fibre blends.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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

• Its final production stage happens in Peru, an extreme risk country for labour abuse.
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Mon Chou “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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