DillySocks' Sustainability Rating:
Good
DillySocks has a Good rating because it intentionally minimizes environmentally harmful materials and takes responsibility for its emissions.
DillySocks uses a majority of GOTS cotton, a lower emissions material, in its products. It has 100% petro-plastic-free packaging and uses biodegradable and compostable biobased materials instead. DillySocks publicly reports on its emissions impact and offsets its emissions through ClimatePartner. It also uses renewable energy in its production and offices, and repurposes overstock to avoid waste. Though it's a small brand, with likely limited resources, we hope to see more information shared on its supply chain and labor practices in the future.
