S A Y A

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 S A Y A “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including roots salvaged from old plantations.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.

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

• It traces all of its supply chain.
• 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.

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 S A Y A “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate S A Y A “Good” overall.
