Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


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 Magpie Goose “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including linen.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • It avoids plastic packaging.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses all of its textile offcuts.

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 Magpie Goose “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It partners with independent Aboriginal artists and Aboriginal art centres.
  • Its entire final production stage is certified by Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA).
  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • 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 Magpie Goose “Good�. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Magpie Goose “Good� overall.
