SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability
Starts With People.

At KNOWN SUPPLY, sustainability means caring for the people who make our products, the materials we choose, and the impact each piece has throughout its life. We believe a truly sustainable future starts with transparency, responsibility, and human connection.

People

Every Garment
Has a Maker.

Every KNOWN SUPPLY item is produced at a Fair Trade Certified or direct trade facility where we can ensure a positive impact on the people making it.

Fair wages. Safe working conditions. The dignity every person deserves. Every garment carries the name of the maker who crafted it, because anonymizing people isn’t sustainable.

Start Recycling

Impact Driven. Always.

Since 2007, we have worked hard to use apparel & fashion as a tool to make a positive impact on the world. That's not a tagline. It's the reason every decision we make — from factory partners to packaging — gets filtered through one question: is this good for people and the planet?

Sustainability isn't a department at KNOWN SUPPLY. It's the whole point.
