Repossi

Repossi is owned by LVMH.

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 Repossi “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials.
• 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 takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• It’s published a biodiversity protection policy that applies to its entire 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 Repossi “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Its final production stage happens in Italy and France, medium risk countries for labour abuse.
• It received a score of 21-30% in the 2022 Fashion Transparency Index.
• It has a basic policy to support diversity and inclusion in its direct operations and supply chain.
• 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. Since Repossi makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve 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 Repossi “It’s a Start” overall.
