See how Everlane's design, sourcing, and sustainability teams partnered to uncover opportunities to lower impact at the product level. A win-win for reducing Scope 3 emissions and delivering on consumer expectations around transparency and impact.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Everlane is redefining what climate leadership looks like in fashion—backing up its sustainability goals with data, action, and full transparency. The company has set ambitious science-based targets to reduce Scope 1–3 emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve Net-Zero by 2030, through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As of 2024, Everlane has already achieved a 52% Scope 1–3 absolute emissions reduction and a 44% reduction in emissions per-units produced, compared to its baseline. This progress reflects deeper investment in factory-level carbon reduction and continued prioritization of lower-impact materials.
To support this work, Everlane is increasingly turning to Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to better understand and reduce product-level impact. The brand partnered with Planet FWD to conduct an LCA of the Day Buckle Mary Jane in Recycled Satin, with the goal of gaining precise insight into the product’s carbon footprint and uncovering new opportunities to reduce emissions across materials, manufacturing, and supply chain decisions.
Everlane’s design and sourcing teams have always prioritized reducing product impacts through lower-impact material and production methods, and the LCA has only helped them deepen their understanding of the shoe’s carbon footprint. Key findings included:
<span class="small-blockquote">"Reaching our ambitious science-based targets means digging into the details, product by product and material by material. Partnering with Planet FWD on this LCA gave us a sharper view of where our emissions come from, how our material and production decisions have already helped reduce impact, and where there are still opportunities to go further. It’s the kind of insight that helps us connect design decisions to real emissions outcomes, and a reminder that you can’t reduce what you don’t measure."</span>

One of the biggest takeaways? Switching to more renewable energy in manufacturing could cut emissions by 54%. That insight is helping guide Everlane on where to focus carbon reduction efforts next, from material innovation to factory partnerships. By partnering with Planet FWD, Everlane is turning sustainability into action and moving the industry forward: making decisions grounded in data and holding themselves accountable to continuous improvement.
