OUR DO WELL REPORT

THE DENIM HIGHLIGHTS

At Madewell, we’re committed to exploring new ways to protect our planet and its people—and that means thinking about how our clothes are made from start to finish. We’re proud to share our latest Do Well Report—but our story is just unfolding. Here are a few moments we’re celebrating.

STRONGER TOGETHER


Celebrating six years of partnership with Fair Trade USA.

DOING WELL WORLDWIDE


With 17 factories certified across eight countries.

EMPOWERED EMPLOYEES


Over 15,000 workers receive better benefits, including maternity leave, paid days off and equal pay, plus the ability to vote on how to spend the extra money from the Premium.


DOING WELL WORLDWIDE


We’ve contributed over $2.1 million in Fair Trade premiums (and counting).

90%

of our denim was produced in Fair Trade Certified™ factories in 2024—hitting our goal early.

100%

of the cotton used in our denim is sourced from organizations that meet our definition of sustainable.

10 YEARS

of partnering with Blue Jeans Go Green™, a denim recycling program that turns old jeans into insulation for buildings, pet bed inserts, thermal packaging liners and more.

2.2 MILLION

garments kept out of landfills and in circulation, through our in-store trade-in program and Clean Out Kits since the launch of Madewell Forever®.
