The People & Planet Report

The status quo is not sustainable. We exist to shatter it

Our People and Planet report was created as a means for transparency — to share our goals for the people and the planet — and report back in a year’s time. Check out how we did in 2020.

As a B Corp business, we believe that prioritizing people and the environment matter just as much as profits and happy customers.

2021-2022

1. Re-certify as a Benefit Corporation.

Certified B Corporations are a new kind of business that balances purpose and profit. They are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.

2. Fund scholarships for children and grandchildren of artisans in MX and create a new way to support local women pursuing careers in fashion, business and sustainability.

3. Provide consumers with supply chain visibility of our factories and materials suppliers for Poppy Barley’s top 10 best-selling products.

4. Add a Poppy Barley resale market and continue our partnership with Soles4Souls to facilitate second lives for pre-loved, worn footwear.

5. Commission a study to determine PB’s carbon footprint and set annual reduction targets. Offset all direct (Scope 1 and 2) greenhouse gas emissions.

6. Use the most sustainable materials (those with A and B ratings) for 35% of our total materials.

This is (and we) are not perfect. However, with incremental steps, relentless focus, and accountability, we are changing the fashion industry.
