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 S A Y A “Great�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including roots salvaged from old plantations.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.

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 S A Y A “It's a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It traces all of its supply chain.
  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • It claims it ensures payment of a living wage in its supply chain but doesn't define a living wage.

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 S A Y 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 S A Y A “Good� overall.
