- This is an unclaimed profile. Reformation has not joined Sustainability Tracker to verify their sustainability credentials. We gathered what we could from public sources.
Reformation presents itself as a fashion brand that tries to cut its environmental impact while keeping style central. It publishes regular sustainability updates, shares a public sustainability report, and explains how it chooses materials, factories, and packaging. Independent ratings say it performs well on materials, supply chain traceability, and worker policies, but it still uses some animal-based and conventional materials and has not fully removed all higher-impact inputs. It also uses carbon reporting, renewable electricity for its own operations, repair and takeback programs, and supplier audits. Overall, the picture is mixed but fairly strong for a fashion brand. Positive Sentiment Found Independent ratings and press coverage show a fairly strong sustainability reputation, especially for a fashion brand. Good On You rates Reformation “Good” overall, with 4/5 for Planet and People, and says much of its supply chain is certified by the Fair Labor Association, it traces most of its supply chain, and it uses recycled packaging and lower-impact materials. The Commons Earth gives it strong marks for accountability, saying it has detailed public reporting, emissions tracking, supply chain disclosure, repair and takeback programs, and a Climate Neutral certification from the Change Climate Project. Vogue also notes that the brand has published climate reports and set science-based targets, which adds to its public transparency. Common Criticisms: The main criticism is that Reformation still has clear gaps between its goals and its actual footprint. Vogue says the brand’s climate positive target was hard to define and that its Scope 1 and 2 emissions target was not met, while its growth made absolute cuts harder. The same coverage notes that the brand relied on carbon removals and that some of its earlier targets were based on emissions intensity, which can hide the effect of higher production. Good On You also says there is no evidence the brand is on track for its science-based target. In addition, Reformation still uses animal-derived materials such as silk, wool, cashmere, alpaca, and leather, and some independent reviews note that not all suppliers are paid living wages.

2030
Source all fabrics from lower-impact inputs
Reformation says it wants 100% of its fabrics to come from deadstock, recycled, or next-generation materials by 2030. In plain terms, that means it wants to move away from virgin fabric and use more reused, recycled, or newer lower-impact fibers instead. This is a future target, not something it says it has already finished.
2030
Become fully circular by 2030
Reformation has said it wants to become fully circular by 2030. Circular means keeping materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, resale, and recycling, instead of treating clothes as waste after one use. The brand links this goal to its repair, takeback, and recycling work.
2030
Cut emissions under science-based targets
Reformation says it set science-based targets in 2022, which are emissions goals checked against climate science. It committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 and Scope 3 emissions by 48% per value added by 2030, compared with a 2021 baseline. Scope 3 covers the wider supply chain, so this target reaches beyond its own stores and offices.
