tentree Sustainability Actions

Carbon neutral since 2020

tentree says it has been carbon neutral since 2020. It explains that it tries to cut emissions where it can and offsets the rest, which means paying for projects meant to balance out the climate impact it cannot yet remove. The brand also says it publishes a climate action plan and reports its emissions publicly. Independent sources note that most of its emissions come from its supply chain, not its offices, which is common in apparel.

Publishes an impact report

tentree publishes an annual impact report that covers five areas: transparency, climate, product, nature, and people. The report says the brand wants to be open about its progress and its long-term plan, which it calls the Restorative Agenda. This is a roadmap for creating positive impact for the planet and people, not just reducing harm. The report also gives details on emissions, materials, restoration work, and workplace topics.

Uses mostly preferred fibers

Independent reviewers say tentree uses a very high share of preferred fibers, including organic cotton, recycled polyester, and TENCEL Lyocell. One source says 98.5% of its fibers were preferred in its last reported year. Preferred fibers are materials that usually have a lower environmental impact than conventional options. tentree also says it publishes the raw material mix and third-party certifications for its products online.

Runs circularity programs

tentree operates a take-back program, a resale site, and a recycling program called Circularity by tentree. In 2023, it expanded the take-back program so people could send in clothes from any brand, not just tentree. The brand also says many of its products ship without individual plastic bags, and its hangtags are made from recycled FSC paper. These steps are meant to reduce waste and keep clothing in use for longer.

Discloses supply chain details

tentree says it shares the names, cities, and countries of all Tier 1 factories in its supply chain, and some Tier 2 mills as well. Tier 1 means the final factories that make the product, while Tier 2 covers earlier processing steps like dyeing and weaving. The brand also says all Tier 1 manufacturers are audited by a third party for workers’ rights, and suppliers must sign its Code of Conduct and complete self-checks.

Uses certified wool only

tentree is not a vegan brand, but it says wool is its only animal-based material. It says all of that wool is either Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified or recycled. RWS is a certification that checks animal welfare and land management on wool farms. This suggests the brand has tried to limit animal-related risks in its product line.
