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 Maya Magal “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It uses lower impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it reuses some of its scraps.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.

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 Maya Magal “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its final production stage happens in the UK, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • It visits its suppliers regularly.
  • 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.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Since Maya Magal makes products that are generally free of animal-derived materials, we’ve not rated its impact on animals. Its overall rating is based on its combined environment and labour scores.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Maya Magal “Good” overall.
