Why it's graded Lacks transparency
- Not met: Meets 1 of 6 Good requirements.
- Holds the grade back: It has 2 red flags: no evidence of a living wage and a hidden, unaudited supply chain in high-risk countries. Two or more red flags means a poor grade.
- It isn't Harm on record, because there's no serious confirmed problem on its record.
- Lacks transparency is still a poor grade: in supply chains like this, workers who can't be seen to be treated fairly are usually underpaid or unprotected.

Evidence
What we found
- Uses recycled metals or fibres
- Doesn't show where its timber comes from. Timber is linked to illegal logging linked to forced labour, so it can't be graded Good until it traces or certifies it.
- Uses leather in only a few products and doesn't show where it comes from. That doesn't count against it for Good, but the "Open supply chain" star needs all of it traced, certified or upcycled.
Research notes Lovesac's furniture is made by third-party manufacturers: in April 2025 it said about 50% of production was in Vietnam, 28% Malaysia, 13% China and 6% Indonesia; its 2026 annual filing also names Taiwan, India and a North Carolina maker of its Sacs, with no shares given. It has a zero-tolerance policy on forced and child labour and says manufacturers agree to third-party audits, but publishes no supplier list, audit results or wage information. Many fabrics are recycled PET.
