How ethical is Dior?
The Good Shopping Guide gives Dior, a cosmetics company owned by LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.E., a low ethical rating. Unfortunately, this brand does not currently meet our basic standard as evidenced by its low Good Shopping Guide ethical score in our Ethical Make Up Ratings Table. This brand has to make a number of improvements before it will probably be eligible for our Ethical Accreditation.
In what areas does Dior perform poorly?
Dior doesn’t offer any makeup that is officially certified as organic, so the ingredients may have been developed using pesticides. It’s crucial that manufacturers provide customers with Organic choices because makeup is applied directly to the skin, a large and delicate organ. The environment, farmers, local communities, and wildlife are all also harmed by pesticides.
Regarding animal testing, LVMH’s stance is unclear. The brand has previously received criticism for using animal skins, furs, and body parts even though the corporation hasn’t made a public stance on animal welfare.
In what areas does Dior perform well?
Fortunately, Dior redeems itself somewhat with its parent company’s Social & Environmental Responsibility Report 2023. This report includes LVMH’s commitments to improving its environmental record.
In what areas does Dior perform poorly?
Dior receives a bottom rating in both of the categories in our Animals assessment: Animal Welfare and Vegetarian/Vegan Verified. This is because Dior does not have any certified vegan products and its owner, LVMH, has been criticised for the use of exotic animal skins.
How can Dior improve its ethical rating?
The score for Dior by The Good Shopping Guide is determined by 15 ethical standards. Dior needs to resolve a number of ethical challenges, including the absence of certified-Organic products and its ambiguous position on Animal Welfare, in order to meet our ethical criteria and become eligible for our Ethical Accreditation.
