  • Energy Use & Production

    Happy Earth uses renewable energy in some of its production and at its office. It sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry, but it's working to reduce the span of its operations by sourcing cotton from farms in close proximity to its manufacturing partner.

  • Packaging & Distribution

Show full rubric

  • Transparency & Reporting

    Happy Earth has a sustainability page with information about materials, labor practices, energy use, packaging, and production waste, but it is hard to find on its website. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date. The brand does not share an annual sustainability report.

  • Emissions Tracking

    Happy Earth internally measures its overall emissions and is climate neutral certified through the Change Climate Project. It reports emissions on an organization level. Its 2023 estimated total was 656 t CO2e.

  • Emissions Targets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for Happy Earth, but the brand has some interim reduction plans. Happy Earth offsets its full value chain emissions as part of its climate neutral certification.

  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Happy Earth publishes the names and locations of its supply chain partners. Due to its small supply chain, this provides high traceability and visibility that 95% of its products are made in fair trade certified facilities. It has a supplier code of conduct, which includes provisions for no forced labor and allowing collective bargaining.
