Meet the Brands Who Fulfill The Rigorous SiStainability Standards

Our partners are special! They share the same ethical values as SiS and uphold identical sustainability benchmarks.

We have a set standard to evaluate all potential partners before welcoming them to our platform. We call that standard the “SiStainability Scale.”

All sellers on SiS pass the following five stages of the SiStainability Scale:

✔️Eco-Friendly Resources

SiS ensures that its partner brands use natural, organic, recycled, upcycled, and biodegradable raw materials. The brands must keep their water and energy consumption in check, guaranteeing no waste.

✔️Low-Impact Production

SiS’s brands strive to make their manufacturing process as carbon-neutral as possible. This means low emissions, non-toxicity, ethical sourcing, using renewable energy, and eco-friendly designing.

✔️Earth-Conscious Supply Chain

We go above and beyond to assess every part of our brands’ supply chain for environmentally-viable practices – from product designing to materials selections, production, packaging, and logistics.

✔️Ethical Code Of Conduct

We look for companies that value their staff members throughout the supply chain by paying fair wages, ensuring a secure work environment, and banning child and forced labour.

✔️Growing Dedication

Our ideal partners are continuously improving their sustainability practices. They are eager for audits, certifications, and tests we put them through for constant refinement.

✔️Demystify The SiStainability Lingo

It isn’t fun to be left in the dark when you hear terms like “carbon footprint” and “fair trade.” It could impair your judgment about a brand’s sustainability practices before you purchase from them.

Think of this glossary as a compass for ethical shopping.
