Its sustainability reporting is informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the company has also highlighted progress on vendor and factory sustainability reporting, traceability, and circularity initiatives.

White House Black Market Sustainability Actions

Implemented 3D design technology

As of 2022, Chico's, Soma and White House Black Market have all implemented 3D technology into their design processes and continue to adopt the practice across larger portions of their assortments. 3D technology reduces the number of physical samples shipped each season by leveraging 3D modeling of product designs throughout the development process.

Used sustainable denim finishing

White House Black Market & Chico's have also emphasized a heavier reliance on sustainable techniques in its denim finishing processes. This includes laser printing, mechanical dry processing techniques, biodegradable cellulase enzyme finishes and ozone bleaching, designed to reduce reliance on potentially harmful chemicals.

Added sustainable fiber fabrics

Across denim, swim and everyday essentials product lines, White House Black Market® has recently introduced 19 fabrics with sustainable fiber content, including Lenzing's Tencel™, Lenzing's EcoveroTM, Unifi's REPREVE®, and other recycled polyester, and lyocell fibers.
