- brand transparency & ownership – we will look into brands which speak about their sustainability efforts in transparent details
- first party source of information – we will make every effort to reach out to the brand & engage with them to understand their impact
- third party source of information – we will consider any publicly available knowledge about brands and their practices in the curation
- brand’s intent to change – we also consider a brand’s intent to change for the better as part of our curation & weight that
