Transparency & Reporting

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. The brand offsets emissions through EcoCart and shares information on the projects it supports, but it doesn't clarify the scope of its offsets.
Supply Chain & Labor
Branwyn publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their names and locations across Tier 4 (raw materials origins), Tier 2-3 (materials and packaging sourcing), Tier 1 (final production manufacturing). It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Branwyn doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.
Branwyn has a Good rating because it intentionally minimizes resource use and environmentally harmful materials.
Branwyn uses a majority of lower emissions and/or certified materials in its products, including RWS certified wool. It has plans to reduce its use of high emissions materials and improve its materials footprint. Branwyn also uses 100% plastic-free packaging.
Branwyn offsets some of its emissions and helps take responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering 1 year replacement warranty. Though it's a small brand with limited resources, we hope to see Branwyn provide information on its renewable energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction efforts in the future.
