Guts & Gusto describes its sustainability work under “Guts Planet”. The brand says its packages are sent in a sustainable way with a net of zero CO₂, with remaining emissions compensated through sustainable projects. It also states that its locations are heated with a heating pump or district heating, use LED lighting, and separate waste streams. The company says it avoids overproducing, uses authorised social audits such as BSCI at factories, maintains a fur-free policy, and founded the Guts Foundation in 2019 to support charities focused on children, young adults, and making the planet liveable.

Avoiding overproduction

Because of sustainability reasons, we try not to overproduce. When we have a new item in our collection, we start with a base number of items for in our stores and webshop. Only when the demand gets higher than the supply, do we start to produce more. In this way, we try to make sure that overproducing will be limited.
