Mashu

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 Mashu “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It uses recycled packaging.

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

• Its final production stage happens in Greece, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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.
• The brand claims to visit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

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 Mashu “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Mashu “Good” overall.
