Vivobarefoot scores 38/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Vivobarefoot joint 399th of 809 companies scored, and 27th of 40 in Apparel (Durable / Outdoor).
Vivobarefoot demonstrates strong transparency and circularity ambition—ReVivo resales hit 15% of revenue, B Corp certified, publishes radical failure disclosure. But emissions remain largely unmeasured: no Scope 3 quantification, no reduction targets, no water strategy. Growth masks untracked footprint.
