Vitamin A

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

• It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials. 
• It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
• There's no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.
• There’s no evidence it’s taking actions to minimise microplastic impacts.
• It uses some recycled 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 Vitamin A “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It doesn't disclose where all of its final production stage occurs.
• It traces some 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 Vitamin A “Good”. It doesn’t appear to use animal-derived materials but doesn’t claim to be a vegan brand.

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