LANIUS

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 LANIUS “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high 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.
• It uses some recycled packaging.
• To reduce its climate impacts, it uses renewable energy in its supply chain.

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

• It traces most of its supply chain.
• More than half its final production stage is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Business Social Compliance Initiative Code of Conduct - BSCI, Fair Wear Foundation, and Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit - SMETA Best Practice Guidance.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 LANIUS “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 and exotic animal hair.
• 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 LANIUS “Good” overall.
