Par Moi

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, including upcycled materials. 
• Its use of lower-impact materials limits the amount of chemicals, water and wastewater used in production.
• To minimise the industry's waste, it reuses textile offcuts from other companies.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

• Its final production stage happens in Australia, a low risk country for labour abuse. 
• Its products are made in-house by a small team.
• 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 Par Moi “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• All of its animal-derived materials come from post-consumer recycled sources.
• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
