CELEBRATING SUCCESS

Lands' End works with key partners to help achieve our sustainability goals.

Lands' Friendly > Partners

Cascale

Cascale

Lands' End has been a member of Cascale (formerly the Sustainable Apparel Coalition) since 2013. Cascale is a global nonprofit alliance that drives collective action and reduce environmental and social impacts across consumer goods value chains.

Central to this work is the Higg Index, a standardized suite of tools developed by Cascale and delivered through Worldly, the technology platform that enables data collection and performance measurement at scale. Lands' End engages its mills and finished-goods manufacturers to participate in the Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM), helping track and improve environmental performance across our supply chain.

As an active member, Lands' End provides ongoing feedback to Cascale and Worldly to support continuous improvement, tool refinement, and credible, data-driven progress across the industry.

Better Cotton

Better Cotton

We are a proud partner of Better Cotton, a global sustainability initiative that works at the farm level to improve water stewardship, soil health, biodiversity, and labor conditions through farmer training and continuous improvement. Better Cotton operates using a mass balance system, meaning it is not physically traceable to end products, but the volume we source directly supports farmers through equivalent demand. Through this diversified approach—alongside long-standing use of independently verified Supima® cotton—Lands' End continues to advance responsible cotton sourcing across our supply chain.

National Forest Foundation (NFF)

National Forest Foundation

Lands' End has been a proud corporate supporter of the National Forest Foundation (NFF) since 2012. Founded by Congress in 1991, the NFF works with the U.S. Forest Service to care for the 190-million-acre National Forest System. As a nonprofit organization, the NFF works with people and corporations to help fund the restoration of national forests and grasslands. Through this partnership, Lands' End has funded the planting of nearly 1.7 million trees in the following national forests:

  • Angeles, Klamath, Plumas, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests in California
  • Superior and Hiawatha National Forests in Michigan
  • Chippewa National Forest in Minnesota
  • Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin
  • Lolo in Montana

Sustainable Business Council

Lands' End is a member of the Sustainable Business Council (SBC), an independent nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance sustainable principles and practices through the power of business. SBC supports organizations by providing education, tools, peer learning, and recognition programs that help businesses define, measure, manage, and continuously improve their environmental, social, and governance performance.

A cornerstone of SBC's work is the Green Masters Program®, a comprehensive, data-driven framework and online platform that helps businesses identify material sustainability issues, track performance, and integrate sustainability into core business strategy. Participants are evaluated annually and recognized at one of four levels—Adapting, Advancing, Maturing, or Green Master—with Green Master status representing the highest level of sustainability leadership and integration.

Lands' End has achieved Green Master status for multiple consecutive years, reflecting long-standing leadership and continuous progress across key sustainability areas, including energy, greenhouse gas emissions, water, waste and materials management, transportation, supply chain, workforce, community engagement, and governance.

Revive Fiber

Leigh Fibers and ReVive Fiber

Lands' End partners with Revive Fiber—formerly Martex Fiber and now part of the Leigh Fibers family—to help advance textile recycling and reduce waste. Revive Fiber is one of North America's leading textile recyclers, with decades of experience processing both pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste into new, useful applications.

Through this partnership, Lands' End recycles returned and end-of-life apparel into materials such as insulation, supporting a more circular approach to textiles and keeping valuable fibers out of landfill.
