LangerChen

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It provides evidence on its efforts to minimise packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taken any action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its supply chain.
• It produces long-lasting products.

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

• Much of its supply chain is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton, including its entire final production stage and part of its second stage.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It offers child care assistance, parental leave, and flexible working arrangements to workers in its supply chain.
• 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 LangerChen “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool, alpaca, and down.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, leather, shearling, cashmere, or mohair.
