Floris van Bommel Sustainability Rating Evaluation
Planet Rating: Not Good Enough
Our “Planet” rating assesses brands based on their environmental policies in the supply chain, covering areas such as carbon emissions, wastewater management, and product circularity. Floris van Bommel has received a rating of “Not Good Enough” in this category due to several factors:
- There is no evidence that the brand utilizes lower-impact materials in its products.
- The brand does not show any initiatives to minimize textile waste in its supply chain.
- There is no apparent meaningful action taken by the brand to reduce water usage.
- While Floris van Bommel uses a moderate amount of Leather Working Group certified leather, this alone is not enough to improve its overall sustainability rating.
People Rating: It’s a Start
When it comes to workers’ rights, our “People” rating focuses on evaluating brands’ policies and practices regarding labor conditions, from child labor to living wages. Floris van Bommel has been rated as “It’s a Start” in this category for the following reasons:
- Most of the final production stages of the brand’s products occur in the European Union, a region with a lower to medium risk of labor abuses.
- The brand’s Code of Conduct covers some of the International Labour Organization’s Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
- Floris van Bommel traces most of its supply chain, showing a level of transparency in its sourcing practices.
- However, there is no evidence that the brand ensures workers in its supply chain are paid living wages, which impacts its overall rating.
Animals Rating: Not Good Enough
Our “Animals” rating focuses on assessing brands’ animal welfare policies and their sourcing of animal-derived materials. Floris van Bommel has received a rating of “Not Good Enough” in this category based on the following factors:
- There is no clear evidence of the brand having an animal welfare policy in place.
- Floris van Bommel appears to use materials such as leather and wool in its products.
- On the positive side, the brand does not utilize materials like down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
Overall Rating: It’s a Start
After analyzing all publicly available information, Floris van Bommel has been rated as “It’s a Start” overall by our sustainability assessment. While the brand shows some positive efforts in certain areas, there are still significant improvements needed to enhance its sustainability practices across environmental, social, and animal welfare aspects.
By focusing on implementing more sustainable materials, improving labor conditions in its supply chain, and developing clear animal welfare policies, Floris van Bommel can work towards achieving a higher sustainability rating in the future.
