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

  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • It minimises volatile organic chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it uses a tool to map water risks in its supply chain.

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

  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
  • 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.
  • 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 moonstar “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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