At Wise Compass, we understand that brands often highlight their sustainability initiatives, but it’s essential to look beyond the surface. We’re committed to providing fair and accurate assessments that reflect the true impact of their practices, not just their marketing claims. 📢

Key Principles to Avoid Greenwashing: 🧐💡

1. Focus on Scale: We prioritize the scale of sustainable practices. A small initiative within a massive, unsustainable operation has limited impact. 📉
2. Verify Claims:  We seek independent verification of sustainability claims, looking for certifications and third-party audits. 📝
3. Prioritize Core Practices:  We focus on core practices like raw material sourcing and production processes, rather than peripheral initiatives. 🏭
4. Evaluate Transparency:  We assess the transparency of brands’ supply chains and reporting, looking for openness and accountability. 📄
5. Look for Consistency:  We consider the consistency of sustainable practices across all product lines and operations. 🛍️

How We Apply These Principles: 🛠️📈

• Raw Materials:  We don’t just note if a brand uses some organic cotton; we assess the percentage of their totalcotton usage that is organic. 📊
• Production:  We don’t just acknowledge a brand’s “green” capsule collection; we scrutinize the sustainability of their mainstream production. 🔄
• Transportation:  We don’t just accept claims of “carbon offsetting”; we examine the actual reduction of emissions in their logistics. 📉
• End of Life:  We don’t just praise recycling initiatives; we evaluate the recyclability of their products at scale. 📈
• Social Aspects:  We don’t just note philanthropic donations; we investigate labor practices and fair wages throughout their supply chain. 🔍
• Transparency:  We don’t just accept glossy sustainability reports; we examine the level of detailed informationand traceability they provide. 🕵️‍♂️

Our Promise to You: 🤝✨

We strive to present a balanced and accurate picture of each brand’s socio-environmental impact. We acknowledge that no brand is perfect, and we celebrate progress. However, we will not shy away from calling out greenwashing and highlighting areas where brands need to do more. 📢
