Sevya

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 Sevya “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
• To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
• It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
• There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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 Sevya “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It partners with artisans and independent makers from India.
• It partners with women artisans or women-owned enterprises.
• 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 Sevya “It's a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It appears to use wool.
• It doesn’t appear to use leather, shearling, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.
• There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.

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