Evaluation Summary
Company Insights
Schott Zwiesel is owned by the company Zwiesel Fortessa. Hilde evaluates and rates parent companies rather than individual brands. The info included on this page is based on the performance of the parent company. Learn why.
Here’s another example of a company that doesn’t provide any information about their ingredient and material safety or sustainability efforts. In our experience, that means they aren’t likely to be investing in any efforts to address their impacts on people and nature. We expect more from the companies we choose to invite into our homes.
Hilde was not able to find any credible, publicly available information about the ingredient safety, sustainability, or accountability efforts at Zwiesel Fortessa during our research. In instances where the company does provide information about these topics, it was not relevant to any of the criteria included in our evaluation. Work on these issues may be occurring at the company but our research did not readily locate information about it at the time we conducted our review. Our research included but was not limited to reviewing content on webpages, reading company blog posts, looking through FAQs when available, doing sitewide keyword searches, and checking for reports across the website(s) that appear to be owned and operated by the company. We hope this company provides greater transparency about these important issues in the future.
