ANSON'S is owned by Peek & Cloppenburg.

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 ANSON'S “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 doesn’t engage with stakeholders on critical water issues.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
  • Its packaging is recyclable.
  • It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.

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 ANSON'S “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • 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.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • 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 ANSON'S “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, alpaca, and mohair.
  • Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere.
  • It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, exotic animal skin, shearling or down.
  • It has a formal policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.
