Byredo is owned by Puig.

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions to wastewater, ingredients' impacts, product circularity, and more. Here we rate Byredo “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact ingredients.
  • There's no evidence it has initiatives to address overproduction.
  • 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.
  • Some of its palm oil is certified by RSPO.
  • Its product packaging is recyclable.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Byredo “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Most of its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
  • It partly traces its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
  • It audits some of its suppliers but does not specify what proportion.
  • There is no evidence it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain.

Note that the "People" rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

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 Byredo “Very Poor”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses animal-derived ingredients in its products.
  • It does not have a certification, policy, or statement against the use of animal testing in its supply chain.
  • It has not made any public commitments to eliminate animal-derived ingredients.

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