  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • It opts for sea freight shipping over air freight to reduce its climate impacts.
  • Its packaging is recyclable.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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 St. Agni “It’s a Start”. These are a few issues influencing its score:
