KENT's Sustainability Rating:

Best

KENT uses a majority of sustainable fibers in its garments and provides customers with end of life instructions for its products, which are designed to have minimal negative environmental impact through multiple lifecycle stages. KENT publicly reports on its emissions impact and is climate neutral certified through the Change Climate Project.


  • Raw Materials

    KENT reports a high proportion of its products are made with lower emissions materials, including GOTS cotton. It plans to further improve its materials with a goal to integrate up to 25% of lower carbon alternative material inputs. Commons wasn't able to find recent reported progress on this goal within the last year.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's energy use. KENT sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry, but it's working to reduce the span of its operations by sourcing raw materials closer to its manufacturing to reduce miles traveled by 15% across key textiles and materials used.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    KENT uses 100% plastic-free packaging and is working to minimize its packaging overall. Its eco-friendly packaging materials include compostable bags, fsc certified material, and 100% recycled mailers. KENT is working to reduce its shipping emissions by offering a carbon neutral shipping option on checkout.


  • Repair & Care

    KENT doesn't offer repair services or a warranty.

    It gives detailed and environmentally conscious care instructions for its garments, including end of life instructions for composting.


  • Take Back Programs

    KENT has a take back program that accepts its own brand's underwear for composting.


  • Slow Fashion

    KENT offers a core collection, but also releases some new products throughout the year It limits overproduction and waste with batch production, and has goals to reduce 100% of its production waste over time.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still analyzing this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    KENT has a sustainability page with high-level information about materials, packaging, and its supply chain. It is unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date. KENT previously published annual reports, with information on initiatives and current impact, but its latest annual report is from 2021.


  • Emissions Tracking

    KENT is climate neutral through the Change Climate Project. It works with a third party, Green Story, to measure its overall emissions and report them on a company level. Its 2023 estimated total was 9 t CO2e, but it's unclear which emissions categories are included in this total.


  • Emissions Targets

    KENT has emissions reductions targets for 2025, but hasn't shared progress on these targets in the last year. KENT offsets emissions for its full value chain as part of its climate neutral certification.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    KENT publishes geographic information about its supply chain partners across its full value chain. It doesn't have, or doesn't make public, any supplier code of conduct.
