EILEEN FISHER, INC.

In 2015, we joined iconic brands like Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s to become part of B Corp’s global network of businesses working toward systemic change. And in 2024, we were recertified for the fourth time, making 2025 our tenth consecutive year as a B Corp. We’re proud to share that our latest score increased by 20 points to 109 — an all-time high. What contributed to the increase? Because we believe in the well-being of workers and their communities, in 2023 we supported our top two suppliers to become Fair Trade Certified™, improving our social performance in the B Lab Impact Assessment. We increased the amount of wool fibers certified to the Responsible Wool Standard, which means better land and animal stewardship. We also chose EcoVero™ viscose fibers because they require less water and less energy than conventional fibers. All these changes together contributed to an even stronger environmental performance, resulting in our highest score yet. You can learn more about what it means to be a B Corp here:

Who made your clothes? In 2022, EILEEN FISHER partnered with Fair Trade USA to help two factories on their journey toward certification. Now, three of our factories are Fair Trade Certified™, which means they meet rigorous environmental standards and support the well-being of workers. Recently, our own Alana Salguero, Director of Copy, and Susan Scow, Sustainability Impact Specialist, traveled to Indonesia and Vietnam to see firsthand the impact of this program—and to learn more about the people and places our clothes touch. Read on to learn more.

We are proud to be part of a new collection of brands and suppliers working to scale and speed up the adoption of recycled materials. Read more about the Fiber Club from Circ® below.

Why is collaboration critical for tackling challenges of nature loss and climate change? We spoke to Lisa Williams, CEO of EILEEN FISHER, INC. for her take on these questions and more—including lessons from EILEEN FISHER on circularity and what’s next with The Fashion Pact. 🎤 Why is industry collaboration important when it comes to solving challenges of nature loss & climate change?   LW: The key to addressing fashion’s most pressing challenges lies in working together. Collective engagement with brands, retailers, suppliers, government, and partners like TFP drives real impact and moves the needle. The challenges of a changing climate and biodiversity loss are greater than any one person or company. By collaborating we learn from one another and achieve impact quicker, leading to stronger advocacy for environmental policies and the creation of long-term, more resilient outcomes. It’s our combined commitment that will ultimately create the scale that’s missing today. 🎤 What are you looking forward to working on as part of TFP/which challenges are top of mind? LW: I’m looking forward to learning from and contributing to this diverse, talented, committed global network of CEOs – the collective brainpower involved is exciting. The challenges we face transcend borders – things like reducing textile waste, shifting from linear to circular and regenerative business models, tackling overproduction and overconsumption, decarbonizing the supply chain... are issues I’m eager to dive into with this group of like-minded leaders.  🎤 EILEEN FISHER has helped lead the way on circularity. What are some lessons you’ve/the team has learned in the process? LW: So many lessons over the last 4 decades in business; the learning never stops. A key aspect we always talk about is how making clothes better matters but so does making better clothes. Designing timeless, simple pieces that can be worn for as long as possible, from materials that can be recycled to extend the lifecycle even longer. To reduce our impact, we must make thoughtful choices about what we put out into the world and why.   Circularity is only possible with high quality, long-lasting products that can be passed down through generations. We’ve been taking back our clothes since 2009, about a decade before second-hand shopping went mainstream. What started as a passion project to give our clothes multiple lives has been echoed by our customers who send back their clothes. Our take-back program (Renew) is an example of our company living by our values and inviting customers to participate in a positive, impactful cycle with a brand. Once our clothes can’t be resold or worn again, we’re working to be sure they can be remade. The Recycled Wool Cashmere Funnel Neck Top we recently came out with is made from old EF sweaters that our customers returned to us. Investing in the textile-to-textile industry is crucial for our sector; it's an area that’s being built as we do this work.

We’re working to keep worn-and-torn EILEEN FISHER clothes in the cycle of use as long as possible. Why? They’re simply too good to waste.

Thank you, Fast Company and Elizabeth Segran, Ph.D., for sharing the story behind this special sweater and giving us a glimpse into what a fully circular fashion industry could be.

Dear EF Community,    Our hearts are heavy this week as we’ve witnessed the horrific devastation of the LA wildfires on loved ones, animals, homes, landscapes and landmarks.    We have been in close touch with our California-based employees to provide the support they need. In support of the larger LA community, we made donations to the following organizations: California Community Foundation, California Fire Foundation, and World Central Kitchen. The best way to have a positive impact is through collective action. Here are some organizations recommended and vetted by our Social Consciousness team:     California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund  Addresses long-term recovery needs of neighborhoods, including housing, case management, mental health and medical care for displaced residents. Also helps rebuild essential infrastructure like emergency communication systems and offers financial disaster assistance.     California Fire Foundation  Provides direct financial support to residents impacted by wildfires. Works with local community-based organizations to identify residents with damaged homes or experiencing extended evacuation orders.     World Central Kitchen  Serves freshly made meals to first responders and the public at several locations in Southern California in response to the wildfire crisis. GiveDirectly  Delivers cash to low-income families in the hardest-hit areas of Los Angeles. Cash will cover their immediate needs for essentials, shelter and bills.     Los Angeles Regional Food Bank  Works with government agencies, nonprofits, faith-based partners and others to respond to the fires throughout LA County with food assistance.     Noah’s Legacy Fund, LA County Animal Care Foundation  Provides food, shelter and medical care for feline, canine, equine and all other pet residents affected by the fires. In the wake of this tragedy, we are inspired by the bravery of first responders and the outpouring of group efforts to uplift LA residents. Please stay safe and remember to rest as we embark on the journey ahead together to restore our beloved communities and landscapes.    With love,  EILEEN FISHER 

The key to addressing fashion’s most pressing challenges lies in working together. That’s why we are excited to join The Fashion Pact, an organization helping to drive transformative action toward a net-zero, nature-positive future.    At EILEEN FISHER, we recognize that true impact stems from collective engagement. Addressing critical challenges like reducing textile waste and shifting from linear to circular fashion models requires a fundamental reimagining of how we collaborate and invest in the future of this industry.    We look forward to working alongside The Fashion Pact and our peers to help bridge the gap between healthy profits and a healthy planet.
