Aigle

Aigle is owned by Maus Frères.

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 Aigle “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It uses renewable energy in its direct operations (such as stores or offices) but not in its supply chain.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.

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 Aigle “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Much of its final stage is located in low risk countries or certified facilities, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of suppliers.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• 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 Aigle “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, and down.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool, mohair, alpaca, and down.
• It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, exotic animal skin, or shearling.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Aigle “Not Good Enough” overall.
