Ministry of Supply's Sustainability Rating:
Poor
Poor
Ministry of Supply's Poor rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. It’s a smaller brand, which means it likely has fewer resources for robust sustainability efforts and reporting. When it publishes more data, we’ll be able to do a more thorough review. Ministry of Supply appears to still rely on high emissions, fossil-fuel based synthetics and doesn't share any targets for improving its materials. However, it does help keep garments out of landfill by offering a resale program and limited repair services. Ministry of Supply was previously climate neutral certified, but its certification has lapsed and it hasn't updated its site yet. It doesn't have any sustainability page or firm sustainability information in its innovation pages.
Raw Materials
Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume use of a mix of material types. Ministry of Supply uses a mix of 100% recycled polyester, a lower emissions material, as well as high emissions materials such as virgin polyester, elastane, rayon, virgin wool, and viscose. It doesn't share any plans to improve its materials or materials mix.
Energy Use & Production

Repair & Care
Ministry of Supply has a repair program for manufacturer defects, but it doesn't offer a separate warranty. It gives detailed care instructions that may help extend garment lifespan.
Take Back Programs
Ministry of Supply has a take back program, Infinity, that accepts its own brand's clothing for resale. It doesn't share details on the efficacy or impact of this program.
