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.

Dior currently averages -17 across 11 values in the Mashinii dataset. That is a negative record, but it is no longer the lowest average in the database.


The Full Scorecard

One positive score. One zero. Nine negatives.


The Details

The -50 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 -10 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 neutral score on Honest & Fair Business captures antitrust investigations, tax disputes, and corporate governance concerns across multiple European jurisdictions.


The Only Positive Score

Dior currently has no positive value scores; five values are neutral and six are negative.


Luxury's Hidden Cost

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

The current record remains most negative on animal welfare, health, technology, waste, and climate. Read the live company score before relying on any historical snapshot.
