Calzedonia

Calzedonia is owned by Oniverse.

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 Calzedonia “Not Good Enough”. Unfortunately, Calzedonia 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 Calzedonia “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 provides a confidential complaints mechanism for workers in its supply chain to report suspected modern slavery.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
• 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 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. Here we rate Calzedonia “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool and cashmere.
• It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.

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