Ibex's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Where Ibex is doing well: Ibex has begun to use lower impact materials in its garments. Ibex has begun to use renewable energy in its supply chain. Ibex traces most of its supply chain.

Where Ibex has room to grow: Ibex is still reliant on high emissions, fossil-fuel based synthetic materials. Ibex has no strategic programs or services to help keep garments out of landfills. Ibex no longer publicly reports on its emissions tracking and reduction targets.


  • Raw Materials

    Commons could not find a reported proportion of sustainable materials used by Ibex. We found evidence that Ibex uses lower impact materials, including organic cotton and TENCEL Lyocell, as well as high impact materials, including virgin wool and elastane.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Ibex uses some renewable energy in its supply chain. It aims to expand solar to provide 35% of its production plant's power requirements. Ibex sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Ibex has made efforts to reduce the amount of virgin plastic in its packaging. Its eco-friendly materials include compostable bags.


  • Repair & Care

    Ibex does not offer repair services or a warranty. It gives detailed and environmentally conscious care instructions for its garments.


  • Take Back Programs

    Commons could not find information on any take back programs.


  • Slow Fashion

    Ibex offers a core evergreen collection with limited new additions and releases. It limits overproduction and waste by using batch production.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating Ibex's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Ibex has some information about their supply chain and materials distributed across several pages on its website. It is not clear how often this information is updated. The brand does not have an annual report.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Ibex internally measures its company-level emissions. It was formerly Climate Neutral certified via the Change Climate Project, but this certification has lapsed. Its 2022 estimated emissions footprint was 709 tCO2e.


  • Emissions Targets

    Commons could not find emissions reduction targets for Ibex.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Ibex publishes the locations of partners along its full supply chain (Tiers 1-4). It does not publicly share a supplier code of conduct. It works with WRAP-certified manufacturers, which ensures a living wage, no forced labor, and the right to collection bargaining.
