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

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic linen.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Germany, a low risk country for labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • 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 Vietopia “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It appears to use pearls.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.

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