Overall rating: Good

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


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 BHAVA “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
  • There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.

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 BHAVA “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Most of its final production stage happens in Spain, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers� rights.
  • It visits its suppliers but does not state how often.

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 BHAVA “Great�. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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