SHIGETA

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

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including certified organic and organic, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of ingredients used.
• It uses lower-impact ingredients, but there’s no evidence it’s taking further action to reduce its energy use or greenhouse gas emissions.
• Its product packaging is recyclable.
• Some of its palm oil is certified by RSPO, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of palm oil used.

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. Unfortunately, SHIGETA does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

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 SHIGETA “Good”. 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 claims to not test its ingredients or finished products on animals, but it is not certified.

Based on all the publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate SHIGETA “Not Good Enough” overall.
