GANNI

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to protect biodiversity in its supply chain.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It’s set an absolute target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain and claims it’s on track.

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

• There’s no evidence it supports diversity and inclusion in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it provides financial security to its suppliers, which can result in poor working conditions and wages.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• 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 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 GANNI “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It has a formal policy aligned with the Five Freedoms of animal welfare and clear implementation mechanisms in place.
• It appears to use exotic animal hair, and silk.
• It uses some recycled leather in its leather products.
• It uses recycled wool in some of its wool products.
• Responsible Down Standard certifies the down it uses.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
