Good: 5 of 5
- Pays a living wage

Where it's made
| Country | Worker rights | Legal wages | Forced labour risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | Strong protections | Close to a living wage | Low |
Country conditions from the ITUC Global Rights Index, Global Slavery Index and living wage benchmarks. Certifications and audits can raise a company above its countries' baseline.
Why this grade
- Cotton is linked to forced labour (Xinjiang, Turkmenistan) and child labour in several growing regions. (partly offset by certification or direct sourcing)
- Ethical Clothing Australia: Accredits Australian-made supply chains; checks every worker is paid award wages and entitlements.
- Certified B Corp: Whole-company assessment. Labour is one part of the score, so it is supportive rather than proof.
- Owns or runs its own production
Citizen Wolf makes every garment to order in its own factory in Marrickville, Sydney, and the whole Australian-made range is accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia, which checks that workers are paid award wages and entitlements. It has been a certified B Corp since November 2020 (score 104.2). Its fabrics page lists where each fabric is grown, knitted and dyed: most are knitted in Melbourne, but the raw fibre often comes from overseas (organic cotton grown and spun in India, merino spun in China, shirting woven in Spain from Turkish cotton, hemp from China, one merino knitted in Vietnam), and it does not publish a list of the mills, spinners or knitters or any audit results for them.
