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 Palava “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including organic cotton.
  • 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.
  • It avoids plastic 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 Palava “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It ensures most workers in the final production stage are paid living wages, though not in its entire supply chain.
  • It visits its suppliers regularly.

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

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

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