Theory
Partial Rating:

Harmful

This brand does not have enough public information about its sustainability efforts, so we can’t yet offer a detailed review.

We avoid Theory because it doesn't fully disclose information on the sustainability of its production. Theory is part of a group of brands owned by one parent company that reports on all of its brands as a whole. There's not enough information on Theory specific emissions and sustainability efforts. Theory does have some targeted efforts on sustainable materials, including wool, cotton, and linen. However, their main efforts are on packaging, rather than on tackling the main underlying drivers of the company's emissions.
