Partly verified: what this means

Last researched 2 November 2026 · 4 sources

French brand of glass preserving jars with orange rubber seals.

Le Parfait publishes no certification, independent audit or supplier list.

Also worth knowing

It hasn't shown where its materials and parts come from, and a "Made in" label covers only the last stage.

Why it's graded Lacks transparency

  • Not met: Meets 4 of 7 Good requirements.
  • Holds the grade back: It has a red flag (a hidden supply chain) and misses more than one Good requirement. On Track allows one red flag only when everything else but one requirement is met.
  • 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 unprotected.

How grades are decided

Good requirements 4 of 7

  • Met: Pays a living wage, or holds a strong fair-pay certificationLiving wage: presumed because legal wages in France and Spain are close to a living wage, not checked at the company
  • Met: Respects worker rights
  • Not met: Supply chain independently audited or certified, or at least 80% made in countries with strong labour standards
  • Not met: Shows where its earlier production stages happen, not just the final oneA "Made in" claim can cover only the final stage. Earlier stages to show: materials and parts such as fabric, timber, glass, metal and ceramics
  • Met: No child or forced labour findings or links
  • Not met: Names the factories or farms that make its products, or is fully certified by a scheme that holds and audits that list
  • Met: High-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) traced or certified, or not a major part of its rangeNone recorded in a major share of its range

Red flags 1

  • Red flag: Hidden supply chain: no certification, independent audits or supplier list

Evidence

What we found

  • No high-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) are recorded in a major share of its range, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good.
  • "Made in France and Spain" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, materials and parts such as fabric, timber, glass, metal and ceramics can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good. Source

Research notes Le Parfait jars and lids are made by glassmaker O-I at its plants in Puy-Guillaume, France, and Seville, Spain, under a long-term supply agreement with owner Berlin Packaging. The split between the two plants is not published, so the shares shown count one named plant per country. Neither Le Parfait nor Berlin Packaging publishes supplier audit or wage information for these plants. No labour issues were found.
