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


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 Gaia Conceptions “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses lower-impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its Supply Chain.
  • To minimise waste, its products are made-to-order.
  • 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 Gaia Conceptions “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its products are made in-house by the owner.
  • There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
