What does this all mean?

Our sustainable scoring methodolody takes into account eight major categories of sustainability. The final score you see on a product also takes into account your personalized preferences (if you take our quiz above).

Chemical

Reducing amount of harmful chemicals used in production (manufacturing materials, dying materials, etc.)

Water

Reducing amount of water used in production (growing plants for textiles, dying/cleaning materials, etc.)

Carbon Emissions/Energy Use

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy use from production (directly limiting GHGs, paying carbon taxes, using carbon offsets, etc.)

People’s well-being

Fair treatment of employees and community impacted by production (employee wages/working hours/rights, no child/forced labor, community health, philanthropic activities, etc.)

Animal welfare

Avoiding using animal-derived materials. Don’t use the textile that needs to kill animals or source from wild animals. Work with robust certification schemes while using domestic animal products.

Product quality, reuse & recyclability

Making products built to last and supporting reuse/recycling of materials and products (limit waste, improve performance/functionality/quality, support circular economy/circularity, etc.)

Knowing supply chain

Knowing how a product is made from start to finish (where it comes from, what materials are used, the environmental and social regulations involved in production, etc.)

Transparency

Publicly accessible and truthful information about company policies and practices (avoid false/disingenuous claims, greenwashing, etc.)
