Aciae

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Aciae “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses lower impact materials, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• There’s no evidence it minimises solvent-based chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Aciae “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partly traces its supply chain.
• Its Code of Conduct covers ILO Four Fundamental Freedoms principles.
• It doesn't disclose where its final production stage occurs.
• It’s not clear if it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Aciae “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Aciae “Good” overall.
