Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


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 Taza Leather “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it uses any lower-impact materials.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

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

  • Its products are made in-house by the owner.
  • It partly traces its Supply Chain.
  • 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 Taza Leather “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather, and exotic animal skin.
  • It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal hair.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Taza Leather “It’s a Start” overall.
