How sustainable is Aigle?

Aigle is a French brand that’s main­ly known for its foot­wear. The brand is owned by Maus Fre­res, a Swiss hol­ding com­pa­ny with a diver­se port­fo­lio that owns fas­hi­on brands like Gant and Lacos­te, but also a group of res­tau­rants, depart­ment sto­res and shop­ping cen­ters in Swit­zer­land. Aigle publis­hes a sustai­na­bi­li­ty report, but it’s only avai­la­ble in French. This is not up to our transpa­ren­cy standards, sin­ce the com­pa­ny con­ducts busi­ness out­si­de of Fran­ce.

When a brand doesn’t offer any infor­ma­ti­on, the­re are seve­r­al risks you take as a con­su­mer. For example, the cli­ma­te impact of that par­ti­cu­lar brand or pro­duct can be much hig­her com­pa­red to its indu­stry peers. The com­pa­ny might use cer­tain harm­ful che­mi­cals or the­re might be ani­mals or humans har­med for the manu­fac­tu­ring of the pro­duct. For the­se rea­sons we belie­ve that you should be awa­re of how pro­ducts are pro­du­ced and how a com­pa­ny as a who­le ope­ra­tes in regard to our pil­lars. When there’s no transpa­ren­cy, you are at risk of sup­por­ting some or more of the pre­vious­ly men­ti­o­ned harm­ful conditions.
