HARA the label

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

• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce its climate impacts.
• To minimise waste, it reuses some of its textile offcuts.
• It uses low impact non-toxic dyes in all of its products.
• It reduces its wastewater by using a closed-loop system.

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

• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• Its entire final production stage is certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production - WRAP.
• 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. Since HARA the label makes products that are generally free of animal materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

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