How is Pact Apparel sustainable?

Based on our sustainability criteria, Commons rates Pact Apparel as a Better brand.

We love that Pact measures and offset the emissions of its products and company operations, and its commitment to using GOTS-certified organic cotton. The brand also minimizes plastic in its packaging. However, we'd like to see more transparency around their supply chain and labor practices, as well as their continued plans for reducing greenhouse gas impact.
