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 Nomasei “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses few lower-impact materials.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • It uses recycled packaging.
  • It claims to use Leather Working Group certified tanneries but doesn’t specify details about its certification.

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 Nomasei “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • It audits some of its supply chain including all of the final production stage.

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

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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