Call It Spring

An Aldo brand selling shoes and accessories

Call It Spring
Call It Spring's Sustainability Rating:

Poor

Call It Spring has a Poor rating due to an overall lack of sustainability efforts and disclosures. We expect more initiatives and transparency from a brand of its size.

Call It Spring is part of the fast fashion industry, which exploits labor and natural resources while incentivizing overconsumption. While its products are vegan, it appears to heavily rely on high emissions synthetic materials instead. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.

Its parent company does have SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets, and appears on track for scope 1+2 targets, but it hasn't provided progress reporting on targets to reduce its scope 3 emissions, the largest portion of its emissions. Its Supplier Code of Conduct is more sparse than we'd hope for a large global brand.

Call It Spring is owned by Aldo Group.


  • Raw Materials

    Call It Spring's parent company, Aldo Group, makes items with material certifications including GRS and recycled rubber, but it is unclear if these materials are used in Call It Spring items. Aldo Group does not report on certifications or proportions of materials for Call It Spring specifically. It reports Call It Spring as 100% vegan, but does not detail if the leather alternatives it uses are environmentally-friendly. . Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Call It Spring's parent company, Aldo Group, utilizes hydropower and RECs in its direct operations and an unknown portion of its production. It doesn't have stated targets to increase its use of renewable energy. Call It Spring sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Call It Spring doesn't provide any reporting on its packaging at a brand level. Its parent company, Aldo Group, has made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging and reports using FSC-certified and/or recycled materials alongside some unidentified plastic.


  • Repair & Care

    Call It Spring doesn't offer repair services or support. Call It Spring doesn't offer a warranty. Commons couldn't find care instructions for this brand.


  • Take Back Programs

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


  • Slow Fashion

    Call It Spring is a fast fashion brand which continually overproduces products, incentivizes overconsumption, and creates excess waste.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Call It Spring has a hard-to-find sustainability page that serves to link to its parent company's overall impact report. Its parent company, Aldo Group, publishes annual reports, with information on initiatives and current impact. Its latest annual report is from 2023.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Call It Spring's parent company, Aldo, internally measures and publicly reports its company-level emissions in partnership with, or with auditing from, a third party. It includes a breakdown by scope, but not by brand. The last reporting period was 2022. In its most recent update, its estimated emissions footprint was 273,784 tons CO2e.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Aldo Group, Call It Spring's parent company, has SBTi-approved emissions reduction targets for the medium-term (5-10 years). It has reported on its scope 1+2 progress within the past year, and is on track, but hasn't provided progress reporting on its scope 3 goals, which make up the largest portion of its emissions. Its parent company offsets emissions from its ecommerce shipping.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Call It Spring's parent company, Aldo Group, publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their geographic locations across Tier 1 (final production manufacturing). It publicly shares a supplier code of conduct, which prohibits forced labor, prohibits child labor. Its code of conduct is more sparse than we'd hope for a large brand - it doesn't disallow unauthorized subcontracting, ensure the right to collective bargaining, ensure a living wage, establish grievance mechanisms, include environmental clauses. Aldo doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.
