Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Gaia, Inc. receives a mixed ethical rating, with insufficient evidence to fully assess its performance across many areas. Critics point to the potential for misleading claims within its alternative healing and spiritual guidance content, raising concerns about scientific integrity and honest business practices. While its digital business model suggests low direct impact on areas like fair trade or animal welfare, the company's role as an employer and its handling of user data are areas of medium materiality. However, specific details on fair pay, environmental impact, or data security practices are largely unavailable. Gaia's ethical profile largely hinges on the accuracy and transparency of its content and operations.
