Germanier

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

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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. Unfortunately, Germanier does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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

• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
• It appears to use feathers.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal hair.

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