Family-owned Mallorcan footwear brand selling casual shoes and sneakers.
Camper can't show that the workers who make its products in Vietnam earn a living wage, which workers there are very unlikely to.
Better-graded footwear
Graded higher than Camper, selling the same kinds of things. Second-hand first.
Second-hand and refurbished goods create no new factory work, so they're Good by rule and come first.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 3 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It doesn't show that workers are paid a living wage, and isn't certified as working towards one. On Track needs at least one of these.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

Evidence
What we found
- Publishes supplier list
- Independent social audits of all its main factories
- Modern slavery statement
- Uses little or no cotton (e.g. wool, linen or leather products)
- Doesn't show where its leather comes from. Leather is linked to hazardous tannery work and forced labour on some cattle ranches, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
- Doesn't show where its natural rubber comes from. Natural rubber is linked to forced and child labour on some rubber plantations, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes Camper names six main factories, five in Vietnam and one in Portugal, which made 80.1% of its 2024 production by spend; shares shown are by factory count and the remaining suppliers are not named. It says 91-96% of Tier 1 production had third-party social audits in 2024, but publishes no audit findings and makes no living wage commitment. Shoes are mostly leather with rubber soles; 98% of uppers and linings come from Leather Working Group certified tanneries, which does not show where the hides come from.
