Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and a hidden, unaudited supply chain, probably in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- 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.
Good requirements 1 of 6
- Not met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: no evidence

Evidence
What we found
- Doesn't show where its cotton comes from. Cotton is linked to forced labour in Xinjiang and Turkmenistan, and child labour in several growing regions, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
Research notes Henri Lloyd publishes no supplier list, production countries, audit results or modern slavery statement, and its sustainability pages give no labour details. In 2022, before Odlo bought it, it said 80% of new styles came from European factories, including Poland and Portugal, up from Southeast Asia; no current figures are published. Parent Odlo is a Fair Wear member that owns a factory in Romania and reports living wage work, but Odlo's 2024 Fair Wear check does not cover or mention Henri Lloyd. The range mixes synthetic sailing gear with cotton polos, tops and knitwear.
