Christian Dior Is the Lowest-Scoring Company in Our Entire Database

Christian Dior SE controls a luxury empire. Its parent group owns Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Fendi, and dozens of other brands. Annual revenue exceeds EUR 85 billion.

In our database of 5,300+ companies, Dior has the lowest average score: -29 across 11 values.


The Full Scorecard

One positive score. One zero. Nine negatives.


The Details

The -70 on Kind to Animals reflects luxury fashion's continued use of exotic skins, fur (in some group brands), and animal-derived materials across product lines. PETA and animal welfare organisations have documented ongoing issues.

The -70 on Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing reflects supply chain controversies including documented labour violations in Italian subcontractor workshops, where investigations revealed workers in conditions described as exploitative.

The -50 on Honest & Fair Business captures antitrust investigations, tax disputes, and corporate governance concerns across multiple European jurisdictions.


The Only Positive Score

Dior's sole positive score is +30 on No War, No Weapons. The company does not manufacture weapons. That is the lowest bar in the dataset.


Luxury's Hidden Cost

Luxury brands trade on exclusivity and craftsmanship. The price tags suggest quality. The data suggests something different.

For comparison, McDonald's averages -29 with two zeros. Dior matches that score with far more extreme individual failures. A handbag and a hamburger carrying the same ethical weight.
