BUCHERER is owned by Rolex.

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 BUCHERER “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’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 meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • It uses a closed-loop system to reduce water use 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 BUCHERER “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in lower risk countries for labour abuse, however it doesn't publish an aggregate breakdown of supplier locations.
  • 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.
  • 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. Since BUCHERER makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials other than pearl, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined "Planet" and "People" scores.

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