Parks Project's Sustainability Rating

Fair


  • Raw Materials

    Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. Parks Project uses both lower emissions materials such as GOTS organic cotton and GRS recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including spandex, conventional cotton, and virgin polyester. It also uses materials that have certifications from OEKO-TEX and FSC. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. Parks Project is a B Corp.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Parks Project doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Commons couldn't find information on this brand's sourcing or production. For fashion and textile-based brands, we assume a standard global sourcing and production practice.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's packaging materials or overall packaging strategy. We assume smaller brands are using a mix of materials.


  • Repair & Care

    Parks Project doesn't offer repair services or support. Parks Project doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.


  • Take Back Programs

    Parks Project has a take back partnership with Treet, called Pre-Loved Parks Project. This partnership accepts the brand's own clothes for resale.


  • Slow Fashion

    Parks Project offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items seasonally each year.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Parks Project has a prominent sustainability page with high-level details on its certifications, but limited information on its climate strategy. Like many small brands with limited resources, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report. It reports on its contributions to conservation and environmental education organizations. It has donated over $2.7 million as of 2025.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking. This process can be an expensive undertaking for small brands.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand offsets any emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Parks Project publishes some information about its supply chain partners, but doesn't provide details on geography or traceability. It publicly shares a supplier code of conduct, which prohibits child labor, ensures the right to collective bargaining, includes environmental clauses, disallows unauthorized subcontracting, establishes grievance mechanisms, and prohibits forced labor. Its code of conduct doesn't ensure a living wage. Parks Project doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.

Parks Project is rated Fair because its business model supports environmental conservation and education, but it still has room to improve its products and company operations.

Parks Project appears to use a mix of materials for its apparel products, but Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease high emission materials. It does, however, take responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering a take back partnership for resale, called Pre-Loved Parks Project.

Though it's a small brand, with likely limited resources, Parks Project doesn't provide information on its packaging materials, renewable energy strategy, supply chain, or emissions measurement and reduction efforts. We hope it shares more information in the future.
