Ministry of Supply is a clothing brand focused on performance workwear and travel clothes. Its own site says it makes clothes that are more comfortable, durable, and sustainable, and it highlights features like quick drying, wrinkle resistance, machine washability, and carbon neutral shipping claims. Independent rating site Good On You gives it a mixed picture: stronger marks for planet and animals, but weak marks for people because of supply chain and labour concerns. Public reviews on Trustpilot are also mixed, with a poor overall score. Overall, the brand shows some sustainability effort, but there are clear gaps in transparency and worker protection.
Positive Sentiment Found
Public sentiment is fairly positive about the product design and some sustainability signals, but it is not overwhelmingly strong. Trustpilot shows a 2.7 out of 5 score from 198 reviews, which suggests many customers like the clothes but the overall experience is uneven. On the positive side, the brand’s own site highlights long-wear, easy-care clothing, and Good On You gives it a better environmental picture than its labour score, with a 4/5 Planet rating and 4/5 Animals rating. Good On You also notes use of lower-impact materials, renewable energy in the supply chain, and digital printing to reduce water use. The Commons Earth includes the brand in its clothing category of sustainable brands, but that is a directory listing rather than a full independent audit.
Common Criticisms:
The main criticism is around labour and supply chain transparency. Good On You rates Ministry of Supply “Not Good Enough” on People, which means it found too little evidence of strong worker protections rather than proving abuse. It says there is no evidence of a Code of Conduct, no evidence that workers are paid living wages, and that the brand sources final-stage production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse. Trustpilot is also mixed, with a 2.7 out of 5 score from 198 reviews, showing that customer opinion is not strongly positive overall. The public material here also lacks detailed, independently verified sustainability reporting, so some claims, like carbon neutral travel items, are not backed here by full public data.
