Everlane publishes annual impact reports, reports a 52% absolute cut in Scope 1–3 emissions against its 2019 baseline and has SBTi-validated Scope 1 and 2 targets, but its Scope 3 target is intensity-based rather than absolute. Supply chain water and nature risks remain unquantified. Credible greenwashing criticism and a missed 2021 virgin-plastic goal weigh on its credibility.

“Everlane uses a third-party platform called Watershed to prepare our annual greenhouse gas inventory.”
“Everlane's fourth annual impact report focused on preferred materials, reduced carbon and the brand's progress against its 2025 and 2030 goals.”
“The company's targets also cover Scope 3 emissions, but that part of the targets has not been validated by SBTi since Everlane is considered a small and medium-sized enterprise.”
“Results revealed Everlane's total water footprint: 9 million cubic meters — 1.8 million cubic meters of blue water, 5 million cubic meters of gray water.”
“In 2024, the company built upon previous efforts to address Scope 3 emission sources, partnering with the Manufacturer Carbon Action Program (MCAP) and Apparel Impact Institute.”
“The California-based retailer reduced its absolute Scope 1-3 emissions by 38% in 2023, its latest impact report says.”

“The brand has eliminated 90 percent of virgin plastic, including polyester.”
“In 2024, Everlane received the highest score of any brand assessed on Remake's Fashion Accountability Report. But the winning score was still only 40 out of 150, technically a failing grade.”

“For the first time, the company could visualize biodiversity-related exposure across its sourcing footprint and share those insights in its 2024 Impact Report.”

“In 2025, we achieved a 60% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions compared to our 2019 baseline.”
