Kora Organics

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions to wastewater, ingredients' impacts, product circularity, and more. Here we rate Kora Organics “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact ingredients including certified organic ingredients.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• It could be using palm oil, but it has not disclosed any information regarding responsible sourcing that mitigates environmental impacts.

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

• Its final production stage happens in medium-risk countries for labour abuse, however it doesn't publish an aggregate breakdown of supplier locations.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• There’s no evidence it audits its suppliers.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Note that the "People" rating in Good On You’s methodology is defined by labour rights and does not consider consumer health.

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 Kora Organics “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses ingredients derived from insects (eg byproducts of the bee, snail and/or silk industries), but no other animal substances.
• It's certified as animal test-free by PETA.

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