Conscious Step uses a majority of sustainable fibers in its garments, specifically GOTS and Fair Trade certified cotton. All of its new releases are in partnership with nature or animal-focused charities. However, Conscious Step has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills. Though it's a small brand with likely limited resources, it doesn't report on its energy use, emissions measurement or reduction, or supply chain partners.
