Overall rating: It's a start

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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It avoids plastic packaging.
  • 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 NAGO “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • All of its final production stage happens in Poland.
  • It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
  • 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 NAGO “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use wool, cashmere, and alpaca.
  • A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, mohair, down, angora, fur, exotic animal hair, or exotic animal skin.


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