Everlane is a California-based clothing retailer founded in 2010, known for its commitment to “radical transparency” in pricing and manufacturing processes. The brand offers a range of timeless essentials, including clothing and accessories, while emphasizing ethical practices and sustainability. Everlane claims to use a medium proportion of lower-impact materials, including organic cotton, which helps reduce the environmental impact of its supply chain.
However, the brand has faced criticism for alleged greenwashing and has been called out for not fully living up to its sustainability claims. In 2020, Everlane was scrutinized for its treatment of employees and the accuracy of its sustainability efforts. In response, the company hired a director of sustainability and began releasing annual impact reports to improve transparency and accountability.
Regarding PFAS, Everlane is actively working towards eliminating these chemicals from its products. The company has committed to phasing out all PFAS from its supply chain.
