Reports on climate and water

Hugo Boss has published data for third-party climate and water checks. In 2024, CDP (a group that scores companies on environmental disclosure) gave it a B for climate change and a B- for water security. These scores suggest the company is reporting on emissions and water risks, but still has room to improve. The ratings are based on how clearly a company measures, manages, and explains these issues, not just on promises.

Uses certified cotton

A 2025 cotton ranking said Hugo Boss sourced 100% of its cotton from certified sources, such as Better Cotton, organic, or recycled cotton. The same review placed the company 15th for how it balances cotton use with synthetic fibres. This matters because cotton sourcing can affect farm practices, water use, and traceability. The ranking looks at whether brands can show where their cotton comes from and how much of it is certified.

Improves packaging performance

Hugo Boss Australia received a packaging performance level of 4 out of 5, called “Leading,” in APCO’s 2026 annual report. APCO, the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, checks how well members are improving packaging design and recycling outcomes. A score at this level suggests the company has made solid progress on packaging management in Australia, though it is not the top score available.

Discloses supplier information

Fashion Revolution’s 2023 Fashion Transparency Index gave brands owned by Hugo Boss 55 out of 100. The index measures how much a fashion company shares about its policies, suppliers, and impacts. The score suggests Hugo Boss publishes detailed supplier lists and many of its policies and future goals. That is better than many brands, but it still leaves room for fuller disclosure across the supply chain.

Signs safety accords

Hugo Boss is a signatory to the International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile & Garment Industry, and it has also signed the Pakistan Accord. These agreements require brands to disclose factories, support safety inspections, and help pay for fixes when problems are found. The accords were created after the Rana Plaza disaster to improve worker safety in garment supply chains.
