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

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• It has a limited policy to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations and supply chain.
• It traces some of 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 disclosed adequate policies 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 Dangerfield “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It has a formal policy on animal welfare with few clear implementation mechanisms in place.
• It appears to use wool and exotic animal hair.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it traces any animal-derived materials to the first production stage.
