Storchenwiege

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 Storchenwiege “It's a Start”. 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.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
• To minimise waste, it recycles some of its textile offcuts.
• 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 Storchenwiege “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• All of its final production stage happens in Germany.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• It provides jobs for workers from local communities and has demonstrated its positive impact.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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 Storchenwiege “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Storchenwiege “Good” overall.
