Sustainability Story

We put sustainability at the heart of everything we do. From using natural, plant-based materials to creating an ethical and transparent supply chain. We focus our efforts on areas that have the biggest impact - products, people and planet. Almost 75% of the negative impacts of fashion occurs at the raw materials stage. Selecting certain fibers influences how we wash our pieces and also their end of life - from recycling, composting or landfill (85% of clothes end up in landfill - eek!). Because of this, we created our Super Natural Materials Standards - a set of social and environmental criteria that we evaluate all material against before choosing to include in our collections. We are ruthless about only using 100% natural, plant-based and organic materials that also have the potential to return to nature as a resource. While some basics and underwear may contain organic materials, 99% still include some form of petrochemical or synthetic polymer - think spandex or polyester - that can remain in landfills for up to 200 years. Not to mention the negative impact these unnatural materials have on the natural world. KENT - first to market in compostable, plastic-free, and landfill-free clothing basics as featured in Bloomberg, Vogue, Refinery29, Treehugger, and The Financial Times. We were also on Shark Tank's first live season premiere last month which led to four incredible offers, and can be found in Madewell, Nordstrom, and Anthropologie (this spring), along with our own ecommerce. Our focus is creating the first verified, high-frequency compostable basics with the goal of designing out the apparel industry's reliance on plastics, pesticides and landfills.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

KENT achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for KENT's 2021 emissions

01 Measure

KENT measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1 ?
GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

0 tCO2e

GHG Scope 2 ?

1 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3 ?
GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

27 tCO2e

Total Emissions ?
Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

27 tCO2e

02 Offset

KENT invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables KENT to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

Emissions Offset ?
Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.
