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 medium proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton, and it publishes an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It takes meaningful action to reduce emissions from transportation and distribution.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• It produces seasonless collections.

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:

• More than half its final production stage is certified by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
• It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• It traces most of 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 LANIUS “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, and alpaca.
• A high proportion of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional cashmere and wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, angora, exotic animal skin, shearling, mohair, or down.
• It has a policy to source wool from non-mulesed sheep but doesn’t provide any evidence to verify its claims.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate LANIUS “Good” overall.
