Liebeskind is owned by s.Oliver Group.

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• There's no evidence it minimises textile waste when manufacturing its products.
• It’s eliminated some hazardous chemicals but has not made a commitment to eliminate all hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
• It’s set a science based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and supply chain but there’s no evidence it is on track.
• There’s no evidence it’s set a target to manage water use 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 Liebeskind “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Most of its supply chain is certified by the Fair Wear Foundation.
• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not disclose adequate policies or safeguards to protect workers in its supply chain from the virus.

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 Liebeskind “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather.
• Some of its animal-derived materials consist of recycled or certified alternatives to conventional leather.
• It doesn’t appear to use fur, exotic animal skin, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• It has a formal policy but it is not aligned with the Five Domains of Animal Welfare.

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