However, it is not prominently displayed. Larger brands have a greater responsibility to make this information clearly available due to its outsized impact. Everlane has a detailed annual impact report, with a clear, impact driven strategy and progress reporting. The latest annual report is from 2023.

  • Emissions Tracking

    Everlane internally measures and publicly reports its overall company-level emissions. Everlane identifies its top driver of emissions, by including detailed breakdowns.

  • Emissions Targets

    Everlane has GHG emissions targets that are science-aligned (but not SBTi approved). These targets are on the medium and long-term, and progress has been reported on them in the last year. They do not appear to be on track for these goals. Everlane offsets emissions primarily through customer opt-in shipping offsets, not an internal program.

  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Everlane does not publish information about its supply chain partners. It has a supplier code of conduct, which includes provisions audits of partners, allowing collective bargaining.
