Luis Trenker

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 Luis Trenker “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.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use. 

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

• It partly traces its supply chain, including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• 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 Luis Trenker “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use leather, wool, cashmere, alpaca, down, and fur.
• It doesn’t appear to use shearling, mohair, or exotic animal skin.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
