Upholding responsible standards

We’re responsible for creating the change we want to see in the world. It starts with establishing an ethical supply chain and taking measurable action toward a healthier planet. From our suppliers to the materials we work with, we are committed to using the power of our data, resources, and partnerships to catalyze change.

How we create

We’re committed to providing everyone we serve with products made more sustainably and responsibly.

Sustainable materials

We strive to source the main materials in our private label products more sustainably than conventional alternatives.

Cotton

Our goal is to increase the percentage of sustainable sourced cotton in our private label items more than the conventional alternative through partnerships that work with farmers to reduce chemicals, water usage, carbon and provide better resources for land health. Working with Better Cotton is part of our strategy to achieve this goal.

Polyester

Our goal is to increase the percentage of sustainable sourced polyester in our private label items more than the conventional alternative by utilizing recycled plastic in the fiber content, rather than virgin materials, with the aim of reducing waste and production impacts. We verify these claims through globally recognized certifications.

Viscose

Our goal is to increase the percentage of sustainable sourced viscose in our private label items more than conventional alternatives by ensuring that the wood pulp fiber materials were not derived from ancient or endangered forests. Our work is supported by membership in The Canopy Initiative.

Conflict-free minerals

We keep an ethical mineral supply chain by working with vendors to ensure minerals mined in known conflict areas are not used in our products.

Animal Welfare

We are committed to practices that support the humane treatment of animals. We believe that animals should not suffer for the sake of fashion. To support this goal, we ban the use of animal fur, angora and mohair in all products sold by Stitch Fix.

How we deliver

We use data and bold ideas to deliver our products and operate our business more sustainably.

Inventory management

Stitch Fix was created to understand and serve people as individuals. Our data-driven inventory model helps us deliver on this promise, as well as reduce waste.

As a brand rooted in sustainability, we are always looking to reduce waste. Partnering with Stitch Fix data analytics helps us to forecast inventory better which in turn has significantly reduced overstock & waste within our production process.

Eric Fleet

Founder of Threads 4 Thought

By leveraging the customer feedback data from Stitch Fix, in addition to historical selling data and future purchase projections, our team minimizes overproduction and waste—one way we do our part for the planet.

Director of Sales at TOMS

Stitch Fix, being a data driven business, inspired Liverpool Los Angeles to create Denim products that are audited and measured by a 3rd-party commission that certifies every jean with a low impact score printed and barcoded on every hang tag for transparency.

Future-proofing our packaging

A sustainable future demands forward-looking changes in the way we package our products.

Here are steps we’ve taken toward sustainable packaging:

Boxes are made from 100% post-recycled FSC-certified material, and are recyclable.

Standard Stitch Fix Freestyle™ mailers are made from 100% SFI-certified recycled fiber, and are recyclable.

We reduced box size and weight, in some cases by as much as 24%.

We use 100% FSC-certified recycled and recyclable in-box kraft paper.
