BHAVA

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 BHAVA “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses few lower-impact materials.
• It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• 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 BHAVA “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• Most of its final production stage happens in Spain, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
• It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.

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 BHAVA “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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