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

• It uses few lower-impact materials, and it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.

• It claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries but doesn’t specify details about its certification.

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

• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• None of its supply chain is certified by crucial labour standards that help ensure worker health and safety, living wages, and other rights.
• It claims it has a Code of Conduct but does not publicly disclose it.
• 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 Le Tanneur “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, down, exotic animal hair or exotic animal skin.
