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

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, however it does not publish an aggregate breakdown of materials used.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It completes the first and second stages of production closer to home to reduce its climate impact.
  • 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 Joyya “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its entire final production stage is certified by WFTO Guarantee System.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • Its Code of Conduct covers ILO principles.
  • It provides leadership programs for women in its supply chain, which can lead to promotions and higher wages.
  • It claims to have a program to improve wages but there’s no evidence it ensures its workers are paid living wages in most of 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 Joyya “It's a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • There’s no evidence it has an animal welfare policy.
  • It appears to use leather.
  • It doesn’t appear to use angora, fur, shearling, wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair, or down.

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