The brand Baiia has received a ‘good’ environment rating. This rating is due to its use of a high proportion of eco-friendly materials, including recycled materials. One of its noteworthy practices is the use of low impact non-toxic dyes in all of its products. While there is no evidence it is actively taking specific steps to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, the brand’s use of eco-friendly materials does contribute to reducing its climate impact. Additionally, this choice of materials helps limit the amount of chemicals, water, and wastewater used in the production process.
In terms of labour practices, Baiia’s rating is described as ‘it’s a start’. While there is no evidence of the brand having a Code of Conduct in place, it does have a formal statement that covers workers’ rights. However, it remains unclear whether the brand ensures payment of a living wage throughout its supply chain. Furthermore, Baiia does not disclose the location of its final stage of production for all its products. However, it is worth noting that the brand does trace most of its supply chain.
Baiia’s products are generally free of animal materials. However, the brand has not been rated specifically for its impact on animals. It is important to note that the overall rating for Baiia is based solely on its environment and labour scores. Taking these factors into consideration, Baiia receives a ‘Good’ overall rating.
