Burt's Bees Baby

Baby & Personal Care Products

Part of The Clorox Company · Headquartered in United States

Burt's Bees Baby, launched in 2012, focuses on GOTS-certified organic cotton apparel and has introduced sustainable materials like TENCEL™ Lyocell and recycled polyester. The brand claims Fair Trade certification of its supply chain with living wages and worker protections, and states that factories use renewable energy and recycle water. However, third-party assessor Good On You (data from January 2021) rates the brand's labor practices as 'not good enough' due to lack of a published Code of Conduct and production from countries with extreme labor abuse risk; the brand also shows no evidence of reducing textile waste or greenhouse gas emissions.
