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 Quazi Design “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It manufactures its products by hand to reduce its climate impact.
  • It uses low-impact dyes in all of its products.

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 Quazi Design “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • Its products are made in-house by a small team.
  • It traces most of its supply chain.
  • It partners with artisans from Guatemala.
  • It ensures workers in the final production stage are paid 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. Since Quazi Design 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 Quazi Design “Great” overall.
