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 Noani “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • It manufactures its products closer to home to reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises solvent-based chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.

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

  • Its final production stage happens in Italy, a medium risk country for labour abuse.
  • There's no evidence it has a Code of Conduct but it has a formal statement covering workers rights.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.
  • There's no evidence it audits its suppliers.

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 Noani “Great”. PETA listed the brand as vegan.

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