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 Armani Exchange “Not Good Enough”. Unfortunately, Armani Exchange does not publish sufficient information on the most critical planet issues. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with high risk of labour abuse.
• It provides a confidential complaints mechanism for workers in its supply chain to report suspected modern slavery.
• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of its supply chain.
• During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 Armani Exchange “Not Good Enough”. Unfortunately, Armani Exchange does not publish sufficient information on the most critical animal issues. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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