Shamballa Jewels

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

• There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
• To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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

• Its final production stage happens in Denmark, a low risk country for labour abuse.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
• 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 Shamballa Jewels makes products that are generally free of animal-derived 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 Shamballa Jewels “Not Good Enough” overall.
