Transparency & Reporting
Firebird Kids has a sustainability page with high-level information about materials, but makes it hard to find on its website.

Like many small brands, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report.

Firebird Kids has a Good rating because it intentionally minimizes environmentally harmful materials and takes responsibility for the lifecycle of its products
Firebird Kids uses a majority of sustainable materials in its products, specifically GOTS cotton. It helps keep products out of landfill by offering a resale program that is prominently promoted. Firebird Kids has also worked to reduce its virgin plastic packaging, and uses compostable mailers and 100% recycled cardboard instead. Though it has done some good work, we would like to see more shared on its energy use, emissions measurement or reduction, or labor practices in the future. This information is often difficult for small companies to publish, but more transparency would help support claims made on its website.
