Environmental impact is one of our three pillars when rating brands. Here are the top-rated brands scoring “Great” for their efforts in reducing the impact of their products and business operations, and helping to protect the planet.

Fashion and beauty can devastate the environment. These brands are working to minimise that

This inherent sense of duty to nourish the planet that nourishes us right back has sadly fallen by the wayside in the past few decades, as consumer industries—like fashion and beauty—have prioritised speed, cost, and scale over responsible production, with devastating effects on the environment. The climate crisis is the most pressing environmental issue of our time, and conscious consumers now know some of the solid steps they can take to reduce their impact on the environment; like making the most of what they already have; reducing their consumption; in the case of fashion, buying secondhand; and exploring more sustainable brands when they need to buy new. With that in mind, we rolled up our sleeves and tracked down the fashion and beauty brands doing “Great” for the planet.

For the planet rating, we dig deep into brands’ environmental policies to help you see through the pervasive greenwashing. We consider each brand’s reported resource use and waste management, including the types of fibres they use, the sustainability of their business model, their product durability, their commitment to circularity, and their textile waste practices. We investigate their policies to address energy use and carbon emissions, impacts on water, biodiversity, microfibre pollution, deforestation, and chemical use and disposal.

Read on to discover the top-rated clothing and beauty brands prioritising the planet.

ABB receives EPD status for gearless mill drive ring motor

ABB has gained Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) status for its Gearless Mill Drive (GMD) ring motor — technology used to drive large grinding mills in the mining industry.

An EPD is a standardised document that provides detailed information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. Based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study, the EPD highlights ABB’s commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility and supporting customers in making informed decisions on sustainability in their supply chains.

ABB analysed the environmental impact of a ring motor across its entire life cycle from supply chain and production to usage and end-of-life disposal. The study was conducted for a ring motor of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill with an installed power of 24 MW and was based on a reference service life of 25 years.

“Sustainability is at the core of our purpose at ABB, influencing how we operate and innovate for customers,” said Andrea Quinta, Sustainability Specialist at ABB. “By earning the Environmental Product Declaration for our ring motor, we emphasise our environmental stewardship and industry leadership for this technology. We adhered to the highest standards throughout this process, as we do in the ABB Ring Motor factory every day. This recognition highlights to the mining industry what they are bringing into their own operations when they work with ABB.”

The comprehensive LCA was conducted at ABB’s factory in Bilbao, Spain, and was externally verified and published in accordance with international standards ISO 14025 and ISO 14040/14044. It will remain valid for five years.

The ring motor, a key component of the GMD, is a drive system without any gears where the transmission of the torque between the motor and the mill is done through the magnetic field in the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor. It optimises grinding applications in the minerals and mining industries by enabling variable-speed operation, leading to energy and cost savings.

The full EPD for the ABB GMD Ring Motor can be viewed on EPD International.

Bee Hotels Can Help Native Pollinators Recover in the Wake of Climate-Fueled Wildfires: Study

Wild pollinator populations are declining all over the world, with increasingly severe climate change-fueled wildfires threatening their survival. These intense wildfires are also putting long-term ecosystem health and biodiversity at risk. Bee hotels are artificial nesting structures that have been specially designed to house cavity-nesting species. Often placed in backyards or gardens, they provide safe […]
