Sustainability

score : Coming soon

Catbird uses over 95% recycled 14k gold and reclaimed diamonds. This significantly reduces the environmental footprint typically associated with mining. By using recycled metals, Catbird minimizes both waste and the need for virgin extraction. The company also offers lab-grown diamonds as a sustainable alternative to mined stones, ensuring that their sourcing practices align with ethical standards.

A standout feature of Catbird's sustainability efforts is its LEED-certified studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a facility designed to meet rigorous environmental standards for energy efficiency, waste reduction, and resource use.

However, despite these strengths, the brand provides limited publicly available information regarding broader environmental metrics, such as carbon footprint reduction goals or renewable energy use. Increased transparency in these areas would further solidify their position.
