## Sustainability story

KENT is first to market in compostable, plastic-free, and landfill-free clothing basics as featured in Bloomberg, Vogue, Refinery29, Treehugger, and The Financial Times (wearkent.com). We were also on Shark Tank’s first live season premiere which led to four incredible offers (snippet here from our segment), and can be found in Nordstrom, and Anthropologie (this spring), along with our own ecommerce. Our focus is creating the first verified, high-frequency compostable basics with the goal of designing out the apparel industry’s reliance on plastics, pesticides and landfills.

## Emissions (2024)

**Methodology:** KENT's inventory uses spending data to estimate GHG emissions. KENT attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate Project team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 9 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 9 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per unit of product — unit of product

- **Scope 3** — Implement a low carbon sourcing/purchasing policy to source low carbon solutions to reduce packaging emissions by 50%. (source: Packaging, target: Q1 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce waste from cut/sew offcuts, samples, and excess materials by 100% through leveraging positive afterlife options (ex. composting, input to create new products) or recycling in all US operations. (source: Operational waste, target: Q4 2024, completion: 0%)
