Company Assessment

PRAISE CRITICISM INFORMATION
Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Ltd
Business Ethics 2/5 on Good On You
This company owns brands rated 'Not good enough' by Good On You, whose rating system considers the most important social and environmental issues facing the fashion industry to assess a brand's impact on people, the planet and animals.

Social Fined for misleading pricing
In 2016 this company paid a $10,800 penalty after being issued with an infringement notice by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, following an investigation into the company's 'was/now' pricing practices. The ACCC considered Charles Tyrwhitt's 'was/now' price representation, with a 'was' price of $160 and a 'now' price of $69, falsely represented to consumers that by purchasing the shirt there would be a saving of the difference between the 'was' and 'now' prices when that was not the case because the shirt has not been genuinely offered for a reasonable period at the 'was' price. Charles Tyrwhitt had advertised the shirt at the 'was' price of $160 for a short period in a section of its website which was difficult to locate, and no consumer had ever purchased the shirt at the 'was' price.
