Partial Rating:

Harmful

This brand does not have enough public information about its sustainability efforts, so we can’t yet offer a detailed review.

We avoid Vans because it doesn't fully disclose information on the sustainability of its production. Vans is part of a group of brands owned by one parent company that reports on all of its brands as a whole. There's not enough information on Vans specific emissions and sustainability efforts.

        Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (harmful) to 5 (best). How we rate →
