Munthe

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.
• While it offers a rental scheme, there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to minimise textile waste in its supply chain.
• Its packaging is recyclable.

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

• None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
• It traces some of its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• 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 Munthe “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool and exotic animal hair.
• Responsible Wool Standard certifies some of the wool it sources.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, angora, fur, or exotic animal skin.
