Thursday Boot Company
Leather shoes designed for longevity
Thursday Boot Company's Sustainability Rating:
Poor
Thursday Boot Company's Poor rating is due to a lack of published sustainability information. The brand has grown significantly in recent years and we hope to see its reporting catch up to its size.
Thursday Boot Company uses a mix of high emissions materials, such as virgin polyester and conventional rubber, as well as LWG-certified leather, a lower impact material. However, not all of its materials are identified, and Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.
The brand shares some information on its supply chain, but doesn't provide reporting on most sustainability topics, including packaging, energy, or emissions.
Raw Materials
Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. We assume it still relies on high emissions materials. Thursday Boot Company uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled EVA and recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including virgin polyester and uncertified rubber. The brand makes its shoes with responsibly sourced leather, including LWG-certified leather. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. Thursday Boot Company doesn't report having any product or company-level certifications.
Energy Use & Production
Thursday Boot Company doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Thursday Boot Company sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.
Packaging & Distribution
Thursday Boot Company 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 larger brands still have the standard practice of plastic packaging and excess waste.
Repair & Care
Thursday Boot Company doesn't offer repair services or support, though it links users to recommended cobblers per state. Thursday Boot Company doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.
Take Back Programs
Thursday Boot Company doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill.
Slow Fashion
Thursday Boot Company 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
Thursday Boot Company has a prominent sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy. Despite being a larger company with increased influence, Thursday Boot Company doesn't publish an annual sustainability report, which signals a lack of transparency and accountability.
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
Thursday Boot Company publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their geographic locations across Tier 1 (final production manufacturing), Tier 2-3 (materials and packaging sourcing). It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. We expect larger brands to have a public code of conduct. Thursday Boot Company has a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners, which can mitigate human and environmental risks.
