The North Face — Sustainability Overview

The North Face focuses on lower-impact materials, circular services, and supplier climate action to reduce the footprint of exploration gear.

Exploration Without Compromise (EWC)

Products that carry the EWC badge are made with ≥75% recycled, regenerative and/or responsibly sourced renewable materials. If a product has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, it must be non-PFC DWR.

Key Commitments

• Materials (by 2025): Goal for 100% of leading apparel fabrics to originate from recycled, responsibly sourced renewable or regeneratively grown sources.
• Animal Welfare: Down is certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS), developed with Textile Exchange; supply chain is independently audited for traceability and animal welfare.
• Packaging: Working to eliminate single-use packaging by 2025.
• Supplier Climate Action: Supporting key suppliers to halve Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2030.

Circularity: Repair, Resale & Trade-In

• The North Face Renewed: Refurbishes returned or damaged products and resells them to extend product life.
• Trade-in program: Customers can return eligible items online or in-store for credit; items are repaired and re-listed through Renewed.
• Warranty & care: Renewed items include a limited one-year warranty; the brand promotes repair and care to maximize longevity.

Materials You’ll Often See

• Recycled nylon and polyester across shells, insulation, and linings.
• RDS-certified down in insulated products; increasing use of non-PFC DWR finishes.

How to Spot Lower-Impact Products
