The detail
Environment
Earth Rated publicly states that its waste bags are made with recycled materials or are certified compostable, and the company has pursued packaging reduction initiatives according to its website and product labeling. The company holds a B Corp certification, which requires meeting verified standards across environmental and social performance. Limited independently audited data on greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, or water usage is publicly available beyond what is disclosed through the B Corp assessment process. The company has not published a standalone sustainability report with detailed emissions or scope 3 disclosures as of the most recent publicly available information.
Labor
Earth Rated is a privately held company and publishes limited information about its supply chain, including the locations of its manufacturing partners or detailed labor audit programs. As a B Corp certified company, it has undergone third-party assessment of its worker practices as part of the certification process. No specific labor violations, OSHA actions, or supply chain audits have been publicly documented or reported by major news outlets or NGOs. Detailed information on wages, diversity reporting, or formal supplier codes of conduct is not prominently disclosed in publicly available sources.
