Svala

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 Svala “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 reuses all of its textile offcuts.
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• It avoids plastic packaging.

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

• All of its final production stage happens in the United States of America.
• It traces most of its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• 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. Here we rate Svala “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

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