Nisolo Sustainability Actions

Published product impact labels

Nisolo created a “Sustainability Facts Label” for its products. This label gives shoppers product-level information on social and environmental impact, using many data points across several categories. Independent coverage says the label was meant to make buying decisions easier by showing details such as wages, materials, emissions, and other impact data in a simple format, like a nutrition label for shoes.

Used certified leather supply

The brand has said it uses Leather Working Group-certified leather tanneries. Leather Working Group, or LWG, is a group that checks how tanneries manage environmental impact. Good On You also noted that Nisolo traces much of its supply chain and says it works with long-lasting products and recyclable packaging. These points suggest a focus on lower-impact materials and more careful sourcing.

Measured and offset emissions

Third-party sources say Nisolo measured its company and product emissions and used Climate Neutral certification. Climate Neutral is a program where brands measure their carbon emissions, reduce them where they can, and offset the rest with carbon credits. Commons Earth also said the brand reported emissions through the Change Climate Project and identified its main emission sources.

Set up a take-back program

Commons Earth reported that Nisolo had a take-back partnership for its shoes. A take-back program lets customers return used products so they can be reused, repaired, or recycled instead of thrown away. The same source said the brand reported the impact of this program and used it as part of its slow-fashion approach.

Expanded responsible retail

WWD reported that Nisolo opened new stores in cities including Nashville, Washington, D.C., Boston, and New York City. The article said the stores were used to show the brand’s responsible footwear and accessories and to explain its fair pay and transparency story in person. This was part of the brand’s wider effort to connect sustainability claims with customer education.
