Hope For Flowers doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Hope For Flowers sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry. Hope For Flowers is working to reduce the span of its operations through its expert sewer apprenticeship that provides small-batch manufacturing in Detroit.

It uses both high and low emissions materials. It has general plans to reduce its use of high emissions materials and improve its materials footprint, but it hasn't reported on progress yet.
