Eddie Bauer's Sustainability Rating:

Poor

Eddie Bauer scores Poor because its reporting is inadequate for a brand its size. It doesn't report on its emissions, energy use, supply chain, or materials. It's still reliant on high emissions, fossil-fuel based synthetic materials and has no strategic programs or services to help keep products out of landfills.


  • Raw Materials

    Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials Eddie Bauer uses. We assume larger brands are still dependent on high emissions synthetic materials. It makes products with a mix of good materials, including recycled polyester and recycled nylon, and high emissions materials, including conventional cotton, acryclic, polyester, spandex, nylon, and virgin wool. It plans to reduce its reliance on high impact fibers but hasn't provided a concrete goal. Commons wasn't able to find reported data or progress around this goal. We require large brands to report at least annually on any stated goals.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's energy use. Eddie Bauer sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's packaging materials. We assume larger brands still have the standard practice of plastic packaging and excess waste.


  • Repair & Care

    Eddie Bauer doesn't offer repair services or a warranty. It gives some care instructions that may help extend product lifespan.


  • Take Back Programs

    Commons couldn't find information on any take back programs.


  • Slow Fashion

    Eddie Bauer offers a core evergreen collection with additional items. It's unclear how frequently new items are released.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still analyzing this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Eddie Bauer has a prominent sustainability page on its website, with brief discussion of materials and packaging. It's unclear how often this page or information is kept up to date. Eddie Bauer doesn't publish an annual sustainability report and provides no data around its goals.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information for emissions tracking. We require large brands with the biggest emissions impact to track and report thier data publicly.


  • Emissions Targets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets or verificaiton of offsets for Eddie Bauer. Larger brands have an outsized impact and responsibility to reduce their emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Eddie Bauer doesn't publish information about its supply chain partners. It has a supplier code of conduct, which includes provisions banning forced labor, allowing collective bargaining and restricting subcontracting. Its code of conduct doesn't address living wages or regular partner audits.
