Reformation Sustainability Actions

Publishes regular sustainability reports

Reformation says it shares sustainability updates several times a year and keeps a public report archive going back to 2016. Its report page shows annual reports from 2016 through 2025. This gives readers a way to track progress over time instead of relying on one-off claims. The brand says it uses these reports to show work on materials, climate action, circularity, labor practices, and transparency.

Sets material standards

Reformation created its own fiber rating system, called Ref Fiber Standards, to rank materials by their social and environmental impact. It says the system helps it choose lower-impact fabrics and explain those choices to customers. The brand also says it wants 100% of its fabrics to come from deadstock, recycled, or next-generation materials by 2030. Its materials page lists lower-impact options such as TENCEL™ Lyocell, recycled cotton, regeneratively grown cotton, and deadstock fabric.

Tracks and reports emissions

Reformation says it measures and publicly reports its company emissions, including a breakdown by scope. Scope 1 and 2 cover direct emissions and purchased energy, while Scope 3 covers the wider supply chain. The Commons Earth says the brand is Climate Neutral certified by the Change Climate Project, which means it measures emissions and supports carbon projects to balance them. It also reports a 2023 footprint of 45,867 tCO2e and says it uses science-based targets to cut emissions over time.

Uses renewable energy in operations

Reformation says its stores, offices, and other corporate operations run on 100% renewable energy. The Commons Earth also notes that the brand has started to use some renewable energy in manufacturing, although the amount is not clear. This suggests the brand has made progress on energy use, but the biggest impact may still sit in its supply chain rather than in its own offices.

Runs repair and takeback programs

Reformation offers repair and takeback options to keep clothes in use for longer. The Commons Earth says it has a repair program with Hemster and a takeback program that accepts its own items for recycling and resale. Good On You also notes that it offers clothing recycling to customers. These programs are meant to reduce textile waste and make it easier for customers to keep, fix, or return old items instead of throwing them away.

Discloses factories and audits

Reformation says it discloses 100% of its Tier 1 finished goods manufacturers and subcontractors. It also says its direct cut, sew, and finish partners must follow its Code of Conduct, which is based on Fair Labor Association (FLA) rules and International Labour Organization standards. The brand says it uses third-party social audits, corrective action plans, and follow-up checks to improve working conditions. It also takes part in Open Supply Hub and the Transparency Pledge to make its supply chain more visible.

Uses packaging changes

Reformation says it has reduced virgin plastic in packaging by using a mix of plastic-free and recycled plastic materials. Selfless Clothes says the brand uses recycled LDPE bags with a biodegradable polymer, while The Commons Earth says it has made efforts to cut virgin plastic in packaging. These changes are aimed at lowering waste and reducing the amount of new plastic used for shipping and retail packaging.
