Vivienne Westwood sustainability score: 30/100

Vivienne Westwood conducted first Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon assessment covering 2022 data but has not publicly disclosed figures in tonnes CO₂e. Two legal entities (London and Milan) conducted separate assessments with aspiration to unify in 2024. No third-party verification found.

Company states it assessed 'preliminary Scope 3 categories' for 2022 but released no figures. Good On You (July 2025, rating 2/5) found no evidence of meaningful supply chain environmental action. Remake scored brand 21/100. Complex global supply chain in Italy and Asia.

No multi-year absolute emissions data published. Revenue grew 31.5% in 2023 and 16% in 2024 with retail expansion, suggesting rising emissions trajectory. Only proxy measure: long-haul flights reduced over 70% since 2013. No reduction commitments substantiated.

Almost all UK stores and offices switched to Ecotricity (certified renewable provider). Italian boutique and LA office run on renewables. NYC store at 50% renewable. Plan stated to reach 100% renewable 'where infrastructure permits' by 2024 — no outcome verification found.

Good On You explicitly states no evidence of biodiversity supply chain action. Uses leather, wool, down, horn with significant land and water implications. No TNFD disclosure, no deforestation-free commitment, no supply chain biodiversity mapping. Some recycled materials and Greenpeace partnerships noted but unquantified.

References AGEC circular economy compliance, customer take-back programme, recycled material use, and zero-waste pattern design. No measurable circular targets, no waste data (tonnes generated, diverted, landfilled), no independent verification. Good On You found no evidence of hazardous chemical reduction.

Good On You explicitly states no evidence of meaningful water use reduction or hazardous chemical elimination. Website cites water reduction as a goal but provides no quantified consumption or discharge data. 2018 Greenpeace Detox commitment aimed to eliminate hazardous substances by 2020 — no outcome published.

No SBTi commitment or validation found. Company states it aims to place 'measurable targets in place' after data consolidation across two legal entities — not yet complete. Only quantified target: 100% renewable energy 'by 2024 where infrastructure permits' — outcome unverified. Uses DHL GoGreen offsets without reduction framework.

Dedicated website sustainability section covers carbon, supply chain, materials. First consolidated group carbon assessment conducted in 2023 (2022 data). No standalone sustainability report, no GRI/TCFD alignment, no third-party assurance found. No board-level governance structure identified. Remake notes brand 'provides no evidence following through on public commitments.'

Multiple independent sources cite persistent greenwashing: Good On You downgraded from 3/5 to 2/5 (July 2025); Remake rated 21/100 with no evidence of following through; Eluxe labelled 'Queen of the Greenwash.' Gap between high-profile climate rhetoric and absent quantified performance data is the core criticism across all sources.
