Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. We assume larger brands are still dependent on high emissions materials. Figs Inc uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled polyester and Tencel Modal, as well as high emissions materials such as polyester, rayon, spandex, and nylon. It has plans to reduce its reliance on high emissions materials by having at least 75% of its fabric be comprised of recycled and upcycled materials by 2030, but it hasn't reported on this goal recently. The brand also aims to have 100% of its apparel compliant with OEKO-TEX® 100 by 2026 - it reported on progress towards this goal in 2024, but wasn't on track at 42%. Figs Inc doesn't report having any product or company-level certifications.
Figs Inc doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Figs Inc sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.
Figs Inc primarily relies on petro-based plastics for its packaging, of a virgin or unknown source, which greatly increases its emissions and waste footprint. It doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging.
Figs Inc doesn't offer repair services or support. Figs Inc doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.
Figs Inc doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill.
Figs Inc offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items seasonally each year.
Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Figs Inc has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its website. It publishes a detailed annual report with a clear, impact-driven strategy and progress reporting. Its last annual report was published in 2024.
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking. We expect large brands with the largest emissions footprint to track and report their data publicly.
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. Larger brands have an outsized impact and responsibility to reduce their emissions. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand offsets any emissions.
Figs Inc publishes some information about its supply chain partners, but doesn't provide details on geography or traceability. It publicly shares a supplier code of conduct, which prohibits forced labor, ensures the right to collective bargaining, establishes grievance mechanisms, includes environmental clauses, and prohibits child labor. Its code of conduct doesn't disallow unauthorized subcontracting or clearly ensure a living wage. Figs Inc has a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners, which can mitigate human and environmental risks.
We avoid Figs Inc because its sustainability reporting is incomplete. It does report thoroughly on its social impact efforts, so we hope it follows this example with its sustainability efforts in the future.
Figs Inc uses a mix of high and low emissions materials, and hasn't reported on any progress to improve this mix. It has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills. The brand uses primarily plastic packaging of a virgin or undisclosed source, which contributes greatly to waste production and excess energy use.
Figs Inc doesn't have any strategic plans to reduce or offset its emissions, nor does it provide information on its renewable energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction efforts.
