Sustainability Practices

Everlast doesn't use any organic fabrics but a tiny proportion of recycled materials such as recycled polyester and regenerated nylon.

Most of the fabrics it uses are either natural without relevant certifications, such as regular cotton or synthetic petroleum-based fibers such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and more.

Everlast also uses a small proportion of semi-synthetic fibers or regenerated cellulosic fabrics such as modal and viscose.

Everlast doesn't publish a list of all its manufacturers and processing facilities on its corporate website. But it has committed to responsible practices in its business and supply chain.

Everlast manufactures its clothes in many East Asian countries, where human rights and labor law violations happen every day.

The American clothing retailer does show some labor certification standards that could ensure good working conditions, health, safety, and other crucial rights for workers in its supply chain.

Everlast doesn't have any code of conduct that applies to all its suppliers and subcontractors based on the regulations set by the International Labor Organization (ILO).

Everlast has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery
and human trafficking. It undertakes ethical business practices in line with its corporate social responsibilities.

Everlast only works with factories that have valid satisfactory third-party social auditing factory reports from organizations such as Amfori (BSCI) or Sedex.

Everlast doesn't use exotic animal skin, hair, fur, or angora. But it uses leather to manufacture many of its products.

Leather is an animal-derived material that is cruel and unethical. It also harm the environment by producing greenhouse gases and waste. More sustainable alternatives exist.
