It sources its leather from Leather Working Group (LWG)-certified Gold/Silver Rated tanneries.
Some of its products are dyed in facilities that are Bluesign/OEKO-TEX-certified.
Its manufacturing takes place in USA, Brazil, Pakistan, Istanbul, Turkey, China, and India.
Its packaging is made using Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags with a biodegradable polymer (BDP).
It opts for air freight to ship nearly half its products, which releases more greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to ocean/sea freight.
It minimises its waste via composting organic waste, donating textile scraps, and recycling 75% of its garbage.
To reduce end-of-life textile waste it partners with SuperCircle, a platform that allows customers to return/re-sell clothing they can no longer use.

Its Supplier Code of Conduct is based on ILOs Four Fundamental Freedoms: no child labor, no forced labor, no discrimination, and employees having the right to association and collective bargaining.
There is no evidence on whether living wages are paid to workers throughout its supply chain.
It traces most of its supply chain and audits some of its suppliers.

Animal Welfare

It has an animal welfare policy in place.

Areas for Improvement

While Reformation is making progress in the sustainability sphere and tracing most of its supply chain, an area they could improve on is ensuring/disclosing if all workers in its supply chain are paid a living wage.
Additionally, with so many vegan alternatives available, the brand needs to move away animal-derived ingredients/by-products..
