CLIMATE ACTION

Together with our partners, we are working to offset our carbon footprint by using animal-free, bio-based leather alternatives, shipping mindfully, and creating each piece with water, land, and energy  conservation in mind. Although today, we are not carbon-neutral, we're working towards it.

As part of our commitment to climate action, SENTIENT is proud to partner with the Wildseeds Fund to advance regenerative agriculture and sustainable practices through our Semilla Collection. This collaboration directly supports climate justice by addressing the systemic challenges in agriculture, labor, and environmental sustainability. Together, we aim to shift industries away from harmful production processes, including animal agriculture reform, and toward solutions that honor ecological balance, fair labor practices, and cultural resilience.

Wildseeds, a women-led organization, uplifts the voices of frontline farmers and grassroots leaders who prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and community empowerment. By integrating sustainable materials like Oleatex and funding transformative agricultural work, this partnership bridges the gap between fashion and climate justice. With each purchase from the Semilla Collection, 5% of proceeds are donated to the Wildseeds Fund, helping to build resilience and equity in our shared future

RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION

From sourcing the materials to creating our unique designs, we’re constantly studying plant-based materials and selecting the ones with the best sustainability credentials. Materials are chosen if they use the least amount of water and natural resources possible and use the least amount of chemicals that pollute water bodies and harm human health.

ARTISAN FOCUSED

Behind every SENTIENT bag, there’s a powerful network of artists, craftspeople, and experts making each design a beautiful reality.  Through living wages and decent working conditions, we create more opportunities for local craftspeople that promote sustained and inclusive economic growth within their communities.

PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY

We launched our Panthera collection in partnership with a  conservation organization called Naturalia A.C. For every purchase of a Panthera product, we donate a portion of our proceeds to Naturalia which fund the protection and conservation of the majestic Mexican jaguar (like the one to your left) and its natural habitat in Northern Mexico. We’re proud that our work with Naturalia means we’re part of 1% for the Planet, an organization that certifies brands like SENTIENT who donate 1% of their annual sales towards environmental organizations.

COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY

Our North Star in our efforts to become an all-around ethical and more sustainable brand stems from the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are committed to 5 SDGs which include gender equality, life on land, decent work & inclusive economic growth. These are the guiding principles behind our operations and targets so that we can play our part in building a fashion industry that’s more sustainable and responsible.
