1 piece assessed against the published standard.
Red tag: Veja sells leather.
Veja uses bovine leather across much of its range, and fish leather in parts of it, so the brand carries a red tag. The Campo itself is animal-free: it takes the 50-point brand penalty and nothing more.

Campo Trainers
The V-10 and V-12, often listed elsewhere as vegan, are made with low-chrome bovine leather. The Campo is the model to buy if animal-free is the point.
Pieces we have rated
Questions people ask about Veja
- Is Veja vegan?
- No. Veja sells leather, so its range is not vegan and it carries our red tag. Any animal-free pieces we list from it score 50 points below what the same evidence would earn from a brand that clears both gates.
- Does Veja test on animals?
- We found no evidence that it does. It has not yet given us a signed no-testing declaration, so we cannot confirm it either.
- What is Veja's Fashion Without Cruelty score?
- −55. The rubric gives it 45 of 100 for what it publishes, then 50 points come off for selling animal-derived materials and a further 50 for the materials themselves. Red scores always sit below zero.
- Can Veja earn the Good badge?
- Not while it sells animal-derived materials. A red brand cannot be verified, so no fee can change its score.
