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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It follows a slow fashion model such as limited production runs and seasonless products.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals in manufacturing.
  • 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 VEERAH “It’s a Start�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It partly traces its supply chain including all of the final production stage.
  • It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.
  • It ensures most workers in the final production stage are paid a living wage, though not in its entire 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 VEERAH “Great�. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

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