3 Nov 2026Birds Eye (UK and Ireland)From Harm on record to Lacks transparencyFact-check correction: Birds Eye's owner, Nomad Foods, says it takes no supply from the Chinese plants named, so the remedy is now recorded as unknown rather than none.
3 Nov 2026MideaFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordInvestigators found in 2025 that factories Midea runs in China took part in state transfers of Uyghur workers, and Midea did not respond.
3 Nov 2026HisenseFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordNew: investigators found in 2025 that a Hisense-owned factory in China took Xinjiang workers sent under state labour transfers from 2018 until at least 2024; Hisense denies it.
3 Nov 2026HaierFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordNew: investigators found in 2025 that a part-owned Haier factory in China took Uyghur workers sent under state labour transfers until at least early 2024, and Haier did not respond.
3 Nov 2026Tata TeaFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordThe World Bank ombudsman reported in April 2026 that promised housing and sanitation fixes on Tata-linked Assam tea estates were still not done, so the problem now counts as current.
3 Nov 2026LG ElectronicsFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordNew: investigators found in 2025 that LG's own appliance factories in China used Uyghur workers sent under state labour transfers until at least 2024.
3 Nov 2026SalomonFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackParent Amer Sports publishes its major finished-goods supplier list, has third-party supplier audits and a 2030 living wage goal for its strategic factories, consistent with sister brand Arc'teryx.
3 Nov 2026Buckle 1922From Lacks transparency to On TrackEthical Clothing Australia accredits Buckle as 'Majority Made in Australia', so its accreditation now counts for the brand as a whole rather than only its leather line.
2 Nov 2026BritaFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackBRITA names all five of its own plants and audits its main sites, so its production is now shown by plant instead of an unsourced even split.
2 Nov 2026Tod'sFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordItalian labour inspectors found workshops making Tod's shoe parts paid about a third of the legal hourly rate, and a Milan court backed placing it under judicial administration.
2 Nov 2026SpurrFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackOwner THE ICONIC's 2025 modern slavery statement shows living wage checks at six own-brand factories and its B Corp certification now covers SPURR's maker.
2 Nov 2026HavaianasFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackOwner Alpargatas' 2024 sustainability report adds a measurable plan to pay all employees above a living wage by 2030 and shows natural rubber, with no published origin, is its main material.
2 Nov 2026Fruit of the LoomFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackFruit of the Loom scored 28/100 in the 2026 Ethical Fashion Report, above the failing line of 25, so that rating no longer counts against it.
2 Nov 2026GildanFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordAdded a 2024 Worker Rights Consortium finding that a Gildan supplier in El Salvador closed in 2022 owing workers about US$2 million, a third of which was still unpaid.
2 Nov 2026HollisterFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordWorker Rights Consortium findings show suppliers to Hollister's owner in Karnataka, India, withheld a legally required minimum wage rise, only partly repaid.
2 Nov 2026Abercrombie & FitchFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordWorker Rights Consortium findings show A&F's suppliers in Karnataka, India, withheld a legally required minimum wage rise, only partly repaid.
2 Nov 2026NikeFrom Lacks transparency to On TrackNike's newer ratings are no longer failing: it scored 53/100 in the 2026 Ethical Fashion Report and 46.6/100 in the 2026 Human Rights Benchmark, up from 14.5 in 2023.
2 Nov 2026WranglerFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordAn independent 2023 investigation found recruitment-fee abuse of migrant workers at Mauritius factories supplying owner Kontoor Brands, which has not joined remediation.
2 Nov 2026LeeFrom Lacks transparency to Harm on recordAn independent 2023 investigation found recruitment-fee abuse of migrant workers at Mauritius factories supplying owner Kontoor Brands, which has not joined remediation.
2 Nov 2026Saint JamesFrom On Track to Lacks transparencySaint James makes about 30% of its range through unnamed foreign partners, so it is now rated as making only part of its range in its own factories.
2 Nov 2026Ole Lynggaard CopenhagenFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyOle Lynggaard Copenhagen says part of its jewellery is made by outside partners it does not name or locate, so its own Danish workshop is now counted as covering most of its range, not all of it.
2 Nov 2026FredericiaFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyIts own 2022 report shows most supplier spend is in the Baltic states and Eastern Europe in countries it does not name, so production is no longer recorded as all Danish.
2 Nov 2026ArtekFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyArtek names the countries its suppliers work in but gives no split, so the made-up even split was removed; unnamed suppliers, including metal lights made in China, make a material part of its range.
2 Nov 2026BoConceptFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyBoConcept's own Danish factory makes its wooden furniture, but sofas and other items come from suppliers in countries it does not name, so Denmark no longer counts as where its whole range is made.
2 Nov 2026Zip WaterFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyZip's own modern slavery statement says it makes the majority, not all, of its products in its Sydney factory, so the record no longer treats all production as Australian.
2 Nov 2026Roche BoboisFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyThe earlier record gave France, Italy and Portugal an equal share each without a source; its 2025 report gives only France's 15% of new products, so the other shares are now unknown.
2 Nov 2026RIMOWAFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyOwner LVMH scored 21 out of 100 in Baptist World Aid's 2026 Ethical Fashion Report, which the earlier record had missed.
2 Nov 2026Montana FurnitureFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyMontana says only that most of its products are made in Denmark, so the earlier record's 100% Danish production was not supported and the unstated rest now counts as undisclosed.
2 Nov 2026Louis PoulsenFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyIts 2024 sustainability report shows it also buys finished products from outside suppliers in Southern Europe and Asia without saying which or where, so not all of its range is known to be made in Denmark.
2 Nov 2026HestanFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyHestan's own pages show its OvenBond bakeware and Provisions range are made in China and Thailand by makers it does not name, so not all of its range comes from its Italian factory.
2 Nov 2026Churchill ChinaFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyChurchill states only that over 85% of revenue comes from UK-made products and doesn't say where its outsourced range is made, so an unsourced 15% Romania share was removed and the rest is no longer counted as known.
2 Nov 2026Swiss DiamondFrom On Track to Lacks transparencySwiss Diamond says three of its ranges are made outside Switzerland by makers it does not name, and it does not say where its aluminium comes from.
2 Nov 2026MepraFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyVietnam was added as a production country because retailer listings show some Mepra cutlery sets made there, and Mepra publishes no information on that production.
2 Nov 2026Mason CashFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyRetailer listings show some Mason Cash lines are made in China as well as Portugal, and the brand names none of its makers, so the rest of its range can no longer be assumed to come from Portugal.
2 Nov 2026BallariniFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyBallarini knife sets are made in China by unnamed makers, so it no longer counts as making nearly all its range in its own factory.
2 Nov 2026PortmeirionFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyPortmeirion makes about 39% of its products in its English factories and does not say where the rest is made, so it is no longer treated as wholly made in England.
2 Nov 2026Perri CuttenFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyGrade lowered because about a quarter of Perri Cutten's range is made offshore in countries it does not name, and the record had treated it as all Australian-made.
2 Nov 2026LuxaflexFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyLuxaflex says many, not all, of its products are made in its Australian factories and only some carry the Australian Made logo, so its range is no longer treated as wholly Australian-made.
2 Nov 2026BraunFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyBraun's own product manuals give China as the country of origin for its trimmers and grooming kits, so its range can no longer be shown as made entirely in its German plant.
2 Nov 2026BoucheronFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyAn unsourced even split of production between France and Italy was removed: Boucheron names its Paris workshops, Italy is known only from product listings, and no shares are given.
2 Nov 2026Tiffany & Co.From On Track to Lacks transparencyAn unsourced split of production by country was removed and the Dominican Republic, Botswana and Thailand were added: Tiffany names where its own workshops are but gives no shares, and about 22% of its jewellery comes from outside makers.
2 Nov 2026Best JumpersFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyThe founder says the majority, not all, of its range is made in Melbourne, and it does not say where the rest is made, so it is no longer graded as fully Australian-made.
2 Nov 2026CartierFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyAn unsourced split of production between Switzerland, France and Italy was removed: Cartier names the countries of its workshops but gives no shares.
2 Nov 2026BvlgariFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyAn unsourced split of production between Italy and Switzerland was removed: Bvlgari names the countries of its own factories but gives no shares, and does not say where its outside suppliers are.
2 Nov 2026prAnaFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyOwner Columbia Sportswear's low score of 18/100 in the latest (2023) KnowTheChain apparel benchmark on forced labour is now taken into account.
2 Nov 2026Merino CountryFrom On Track to GoodThe brand states that its merino is Australian grown and its fabric is knitted and dyed in Melbourne, so its earlier production stages are now credited.
2 Nov 2026LoeweFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyRetailer labels show Loewe's shoes are made in Italy and some clothing in Portugal, partly by outside workshops, and Loewe publishes no supplier list or audit results for its Italian makers.
2 Nov 2026GaggiaFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyGaggia's own statement that its machines are made in Italy covers its bean-to-cup range and two manual lines, not its whole range, so the rest is now rated on typical appliance-making countries.
2 Nov 2026Canada GooseFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyCanada Goose's FY26 report shows only 65% of its products are now made in North America and 34% in Europe, so the grade no longer treats its range as made entirely in Canada.
2 Nov 2026ChloéFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyIts supplier list is no longer online, its France-Italy production split was an estimate, and abuse of workers at a Tuscan workshop making its bags is now counted as a confirmed problem.
2 Nov 2026Tommy HilfigerFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyA 2023 investigation found forced labour risks for migrant workers at a Mauritius supplier of owner PVH, and the promised repayment of their recruitment fees is not yet confirmed as paid.
2 Nov 2026Running BareFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyRunning Bare is now owned by Brand Collective, which scored 9/100 in the 2026 Ethical Fashion Report.
2 Nov 2026Calvin KleinFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyA 2023 investigation found forced labour risks for migrant workers at a Mauritius supplier of owner PVH, and the promised repayment of their recruitment fees is not yet confirmed as paid.
2 Nov 2026WüsthofFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyWÜSTHOF names Germany and China (for its shears) but not how much it makes in each, so the earlier unsourced 95% Germany share is no longer used.
2 Nov 2026Grading rulesRules changedSupermarkets & grocers, Cars, bikes & e-mobility, Solar & batteries and Beauty & personal care are new categories. For Good, a supermarket publishes the checks it makes on the farms and labour hire firms behind its own-brand and fresh food; a carmaker traces its battery metals to the mine and its aluminium to smelters outside Xinjiang; a solar panel maker traces its silicon to the smelter or quartz mine, outside Xinjiang; and a beauty brand uses only synthetic mica or none, or traces its natural mica to checked mines. The rules
2 Nov 2026In BedFrom On Track to Lacks transparencyIN BED says only that most of its products are made in Portugal and gives no split, so the earlier 80% Portugal share is no longer used and its China, Turkey and India factories carry more weight.
2 Nov 2026Onitsuka TigerFrom Harm on record to Lacks transparencyThe union leader jailed at Wing Star Shoes, a Cambodian supplier shared with parent ASICS, was reinstated and compensated in November 2025 with ASICS's help, so the case no longer counts against the grade.
2 Nov 2026Picture Organic ClothingFrom Harm on record to On TrackPicture was marked as failing an independent rating, but that came from a Fair Wear "Needs improvement" result rather than a failing Ethical Fashion Report score, so it no longer counts against it.
2 Nov 2026G-Star RAWFrom Harm on record to Lacks transparencyG-Star says in its 2025 sustainability report that all recruitment fees charged to migrant workers at its Mauritius supplier were repaid, so that case no longer counts against it.
2 Nov 2026ASICSFrom Harm on record to Lacks transparencyThe union leader jailed at ASICS supplier Wing Star Shoes was reinstated and compensated in November 2025, with ASICS's help, so the case no longer counts against its grade.
2 Nov 2026Peugeot SaveursFrom Good to Lacks transparencyPeugeot says only the vast majority of its products are made in France and not where the rest are made, so the unconfirmed share now counts against it.
2 Nov 2026SpiegelauFrom Good to Lacks transparencyNo source says all Spiegelau glass is made in Germany, and some collections may be made elsewhere, so the unconfirmed share now counts against it.
2 Nov 2026Ito EnFrom Good to Lacks transparencyOwn-factory signal replaced with part-own-factory because ITO EN's drinks are also made at outsourced plants, and production now lists Japan and Australia without unsourced shares.
2 Nov 2026ALDI own brand coffee (Expressi, Lazzio)From Good to Lacks transparencyALDI names only its Expressi and Lazzio coffee ranges as Fairtrade and gives no certified share, so Fairtrade now counts for part of its range rather than all of it.
2 Nov 2026HermèsFrom Good to Lacks transparencyHermès makes about 55% of its products in its own workshops, with the rest from unnamed suppliers, so it now counts as partly rather than wholly in-house production.
24 Oct 2026Grading rulesRules changedStars now run from 3 to 6: a Good company that goes above and beyond in one way shows 3 stars, and one more for each further way. No grades changed. The rules
24 Oct 2026Grading rulesRules changedA confirmed problem the company has fully put right for the people affected no longer counts against its grade. It stays listed on the brand page, but it no longer keeps a company from Good for 10 years. Partly put right still counts, and a link through a supplier stops counting once the company ends it by leaving the supplier or region. The rules

22 Oct 2026merciFrom On Track to Lacks transparencySA8000 now counts only where it certifies the company's own factories, so it no longer shows a living wage or an independent check of its whole supply chain. Storck's certificate covers its German sites, not the cocoa farms.

22 Oct 2026FerragamoFrom On Track to Lacks transparencySA8000 now counts only where it certifies the company's own factories, so it no longer shows a living wage or an independent check of its whole supply chain.

22 Oct 2026ThunderpantsFrom Good to On TrackIt hasn't shown where its earlier production stages happen, and a "Made in" claim covers only the last stage, so it doesn't meet every Good requirement.
