Insufficient
Raw Materials

Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. SOW Kids doesn't report having any product or company-level certifications.
Energy Use & Production
SOW Kids doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Commons wasn't able to confirm its production span.
Packaging & Distribution
SOW Kids doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging. It claims to use plastic-free packaging and containers, but shares minimal information on the materials it uses instead, beyond noting that its hangtags are biodegradable seed paper.
Repair & Care
SOW Kids doesn't offer repair services or support. SOW Kids doesn't offer a warranty. Commons couldn't find care instructions for this brand across much of its product selection.

Transparency & Reporting
SOW Kids has a prominent sustainability page but the information on it is very vague.
Emissions Tracking
SOW Kids claims to measure its emissions, but doesn't share its process or findings.
Targets & Offsets
SOW Kids works with EcoDrive to plant mangrove trees in Kenya and offset some of its emissions. It's unclear what portion of its emissions the brand offsets.
Supply Chain & Labor
SOW Kids doesn't publish information about its supply chain partners. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. SOW Kids doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks. Commons couldn't find further information about this brand's supply chain and labor practices. We assume smaller brands operate according to industry standards.
SOW Kids's Insufficient rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. It’s a smaller brand, which means it likely has fewer resources for robust sustainability efforts and reporting. When SOW Kids publishes more data, we’ll be able to do a more thorough review.
SOW Kids uses a mix of high and low emissions materials, and Commons couldn't find any stated plans to improve its materials mix. The brand has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills, and it doesn't provide care instructions for many of its items. The brand claims to use 100% plastic-free packaging, though it doesn't clearly share the materials it uses instead.
SOW Kids is lacking reporting and transparency on its energy strategy, emissions data, supply chain details, and labor practices.
