Cordera

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 Cordera “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

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 Cordera “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its Supply Chain including all of the final and second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Cordera “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It’s published a general statement about minimising animal suffering but not a formal animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use leather, exotic animal hair, and silk.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.
• It doesn’t appear to use down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Cordera “It’s a Start” overall.
