Harmful
We avoid Carters because while it does have some meaningful sustainability reporting and a sustainable materials strategy, it doesn't seem to have any meaningful efforts to slow consumption. As a fast fashion company, Carters likely exploits labor and natural resources while incentivizing overconsumption. To operate more sustainably, Carters would have to introduce a meaningful circularity strategy and change its business model.
Partial Review
This brand does not have enough public information about its sustainability efforts, so we can’t yet offer a detailed review.
