Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume a mix of material types. It uses materials that have certifications from OEKO-TEX, GOTS. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to further increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.
Energy Use & Production
Sand Cloud doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Sand Cloud sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.
Packaging & Distribution
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's packaging materials. We assume smaller brands are using a mix of materials. It doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging.

Slow Fashion
Sand Cloud offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items frequently throughout the year. It limits overproduction and waste via its Zero Waste Program, which utilizes deadstock fabrics for a specialty collection.
Marketing
Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Transparency & Reporting
Sand Cloud has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its website. Like many small brands with limited resources, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report.
Emissions Tracking
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking. This process can be an expensive undertaking for small brands.
Targets & Offsets
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand offsets any emissions.
Supply Chain & Labor
Sand Cloud publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their geographic locations across Tier 1 (final production manufacturing). It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Sand Cloud doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks. It has labor certifications, including Fairtrade.
Sand Cloud is rated Acceptable because it intentionally chooses low emissions materials, but still has room to improve in other areas of its business.
Sand Cloud uses a majority of lower emissions materials such as recycled cotton, recycled polyester, and organic cotton. However, Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase these low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. Sand Cloud has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills.
Though it's a small brand with likely limited resources, we hope to see Sand Cloud publish more information on its packaging materials, renewable energy strategy, or emissions measurement and reduction efforts.
