OUR PROGRESS

Over half of our production moved to Peru, one of the most sustainable apparel production countries in the world.

Switched to 100% recycled printer paper at our corporate office.

All web orders are now shipped in envelopes made of 100% recycled materials and we’ve eliminated all tissue, stickers, and extra packing materials.

Recycled Cotton is added to our line. Made from 100% recycled fibers from old cotton garments, scraps, and leftovers.

Started a recycling program for our corporate office and warehouse, despite recycling programs not being offered by our building management.

GOTS certified Organic Cotton added to our line.

Launched digital prints on our Reverse Slub fabric. Digital fabric printing reduces water usage by up to 90% and electrical usage by up to 30% as compared to traditional printing techniques.

Just like the rest of the world, we switched to remote work and have adopted a WFH model moving forward. That reduces the number of cars on the road, greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and energy usage.

Reduced the amount of our wholesale sampling by 57% using our visual digital assets. This starts at the wholesale level with our Spring 22 Collection and translates to 774 less samples in a season (roughly 3,096 a year).

Over half of our partner factories in Peru have received WRAP certification. Our production partner’s goal is to have all eligible factories certified by the end of 2023.

We created a fabric grading system to educate customers on the most sustainable elements of our fabrics, and to acknowledge where improvements in our sourcing and supply chain can be made. It’s all about transparency.

We participated in a Regenerative Cotton pilot program with Bergman/Rivera in Peru. In May they had their first successful harvest, putting us one step closer to adding Regenerative Cotton to our line.

Our Brushed Sweater Knit fabric got a sustainable upgrade. We swapped the viscose for Tencel Modal and instead of using virgin polyester we switched to a Recycled Polyester.

We introduced a 100% certified compostable bag to protect every piece in our line. When composted, this bag will fully biodegrade within one year.

Our partnership with Global Forest Generation began. Together, we planted 6,235 trees in the Peruvian Rainforest.

We introduced Carbon Neutral Shipping to our website. Shoppers now have the option to offset the carbon emissions of their order.

We began the process of measuring our carbon impact, working towards carbon neutrality and reducing our carbon footprint across our supply chain.

All web orders began to ship in 100% compostable envelopes.

2022 also found us partnering with thredUP to launch our online resale marketplace, reNATION. In addition to shopping preloved NATION styles, customers can participate in our Clean Out Program, sending in gently worn clothes (from any brand) to earn NATION LTD site credit. Items not eligible for resale are responsibly recycled by thredUP.

We introduced a new color to our Organic Cotton offering that is made from natural botanical dyes. It’s made using pigment from the alfalfa plant along with chlorophyllin from mosses and algae.

All former poly bags have been cycled out of our warehouse and every item in inventory is now protected by a 100% compostable bag.

Our Peruvian grown Regenerative Cotton (from Bergman/Rivera’s harvest in 2021) will be introduced as a new fabric offering.

We continue to look for new ways to reduce our carbon emissions and work with partners that share our values. Our current partnership with EcoCart empowers our community to make a small donation to offset the carbon footprint of every order.

By the end of 2023, 100% of our eligible partner factories in Peru will receive WRAP certification.
