Sustainability at Everlastly
We believe people really can change the world.
Everything you buy has an environmental cost, but it may not be what you think.
We’ve set out to help shoppers make more sustainable choices by empowering them with knowledge right when they need it–on the virtual shelf.

Our Approach
We’re just beginning our journey to uncover the truth about the impacts of the way we shop, but we’re committed to getting better every day.
To make a big difference, you have to be willing to take on big challenges. Here’s how we plan to shift the economy toward a more sustainable future:
Scientific Data: Research and rate the environmental impacts of popular home goods with Evergrade
Transparency: Give consumers clear, easy to understand sustainability scores to help them make better choices when they’re considering a purchase
Carbon Offsets: In partnership with Natural Capital Exchange (NCX), Everlastly offers high-quality US-based forest carbon offsets. NCX brings unprecedented transparency and accountability to forest carbon offsets, enabling our customers to make their purchases carbon neutral with confidence. More information on NCX here.
Empowerment: Build a movement that encourages businesses and consumers to be more sustainable
Market Forces: As consumer demand for sustainable products grows, the market will drive businesses to compete on price, quality, and sustainability
Why We Exist
Our Mission is to enable consumers to vote with their wallets for an economy that is good for people and the planet, ultimately without sacrificing the things they really want.
Massive wildfires, catastrophic floods, record-breaking heatwaves, critical droughts. Scary stuff, right?
It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of climate change, but don’t! We all have the power to make a difference.
At Everlastly, we want to make it easier to do that every time you shop.
The truth is, shopping for the most part isn’t great for the planet. But your dollars are like a vote, and every time you buy a sustainable product, you’re telling companies that being sustainable is good for business.
Here’s the rub: it’s not that easy to know what’s really sustainable in the face of all the complicated data, buzzwords, greenwashing, and conflicting information out there.
Everlastly is here to change that. We’re gathering millions of data points to build a simple rating system you can trust to help you understand the environmental costs of your purchases. It’s called Evergrade.
We use Evergrade to review and rate every product we sell so you can make informed decisions about what you choose to bring into your home. Because we only offer the most sustainable options in each category, you can shop with confidence knowing that you’re making a more responsible choice, whatever you buy.
We’re out to prove that the more consumers choose to shop sustainably, the more businesses will strive to meet the demand for products that are better for people and the planet.
