Overall rating: It's a start

Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • It uses some recycled packaging.

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

  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.
  • The brand claims to audit some of its supply chain but doesn’t specify what percentage.

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

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CANAVA “It's a Start” overall.
