Pasquale Bruni

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

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• 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 or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assesses brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Pasquale Bruni “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It traces most of its supply chain. 
• Its Code of Conduct covers some ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles
• 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. Since Pasquale Bruni makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we have not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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