Kizik
Kizik's Sustainability Rating:

Poor

Kizik's Poor rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. It’s a fast-growing brand, and we hope to see more information published soon.

Kizik is still reliant on high emissions materials, including uncertified leather and rubber, as well as unidentified fabrics. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.

The brand has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills. It doesn't have a sustainability page and is lacking reporting on most topics.

Kizik is run by HandsFree Labs.


  • Raw Materials

    Kizik appears to heavily rely on high emissions and synthetic materials while also using some lower emissions materials. Kizik doesn't report using responsibly sourced rubber or leather. This greatly increases its environmental footprint. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. Kizik doesn't report having any product or company-level certifications.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Kizik doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Kizik sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Kizik doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging. Commons couldn't find information on this brand's packaging materials. We assume smaller brands are using a mix of materials.


  • Repair & Care

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


  • Take Back Programs

    Kizik doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill.


  • Slow Fashion

    Kizik offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items frequently throughout the year.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Kizik doesn't appear to have a sustainability page or centralized source or information.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons could not find any evidence that Kizik measures emissions.


  • 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

    Kizik publishes limited information about its supply chain partners, but doesn't provide details on geography or traceability. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct, but does disclose key compliance terms which prohibit forced labor, prohibit child labor, and include environmental clauses. Kizik has a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners, which can mitigate human and environmental risks.
