Cabaia

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 Cabaia “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It produces long-lasting products.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its manufacturing.
• While it donates used clothes to charity, there’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

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 Cabaia “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It traces some of its supply chain.
• The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.
• There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
• There’s no evidence 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 Cabaia “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses recycled wool in some of its wool products.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.
