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

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
  • There’s no evidence it minimises solvent-based chemicals, which can be harmful to workers and the environment in production.
  • There’s no evidence it’s taking meaningful action to reduce water use.
  • 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 Sylth Virago “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.
  • There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its Supply Chain.
  • It visits its suppliers regularly.

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 Sylth Virago “Great”. It states that its entire product range is vegan.

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