Conscious Step's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Conscious Step is rated Fair because it has some good initiatives but still has room to grow and improve its sustainability reporting. 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.


  • Raw Materials

    Conscious Step makes products with a majority of good materials, such as GOTS organic cotton, and a small portion of higher emission materials such as elastane. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to improve its materials.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's energy use. Conscious Step sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Conscious Step has made efforts to reduce its packaging overall. Its eco-friendly packaging materials include recycled and recyclable paper.


  • Repair & Care

    Conscious Step doesn't offer repair services or a warranty. It gives detailed and environmentally conscious care instructions for its garments that can help extend product life.


  • Take Back Programs

    Commons couldn't find information on any take back programs.


  • Slow Fashion

    Conscious Step offers a core collection, but also releases new items occasionally throughout the year. All of its new releases are collaborations with nature or animal-focused charities.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Conscious Step has a prominent sustainability page which includes high-level discussion of materials and labor practices. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information for emissions tracking.


  • Emissions Targets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for Conscious Step, or verification that it offsets any emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Conscious Step doesn't publish specific information about its supply chain partners, but notes that some are fair trade certified. It doesn't have, or doesn't make public, any supplier code of conduct.
