In March 2020, Ethical Consumer viewed the Lavera website for the company's environmental policy or report. No such information could be found. An environmental policy was deemed necessary to report on a company's environmental performance and set targets for reducing its impacts in the future. A strong policy would include two future, quantified environmental targets, demonstration by the company that it had a reasonable understanding of its main environmental impacts, be dated within two years and have its environmental data independently verified.
Although the company website contained some discussion on actions the company had taken in relation to sustainable packaging and general statements on sustainable business practices, it had not published an environmental report expanding on this and going into further detail about its practices.
Lavera did not meet any of these criteria therefore it received Ethical Consumer's worst rating for Environmental Reporting and lost a whole mark in this category.
