Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 3 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence
What we found
- Owns or runs its own production
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes MiniJumbuk makes its wool quilts, pillows and mattress toppers at its own mill in Naracoorte, South Australia, which it opened in 1975, using Australian wool; several quilts carry the Australian Made logo. It names no origin for the cotton in its quilt casings, and none for other lines such as ugg boots and clothing. It publishes no supplier information beyond naming some of the wool farms it works with.
