Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great)


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.

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