Courbet

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 Courbet “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• To minimise plastic waste, it uses packaging that consumers can repurpose and reuse.

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

• Its final production stage happens in the European Union, a low/medium risk region for labour abuse.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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 Courbet “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
