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 Sealand “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.
- There’s no evidence it takes action to minimise its packaging, which is a driver of plastic waste.
- 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 Sealand “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 ensures workers in the final production stage are paid living wages.
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 Sealand “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.
Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate Sealand “Great” overall.
