Storm Creek (asi/89879) has released its 2025 sustainability and responsibility report.

The supplier called the report a sales tool as much as it’s a sustainability document, noting that it gives distributors the proof points, certifications and verified data to pitch sustainable apparel with confidence.

“These achievements aren’t badges for us. They’re proof that doing business the right way is possible – and powerful,” said Teresa Fudenberg, CEO of Storm Creek, a member of the Counselor Power 50 list and the 2023 Bess Cohn Humanitarian of the Year. “This report gives our distributor partners the facts, the certifications and the language to close the deal.” 

The report was prepared in accordance with Global Reporting Initiative standards and serves as the supplier’s UN Global Compact Communication on Progress. It documents a year of verified third-party audited progress, Storm Creek says. Among the achievements made in 2025 were gaining B Corp certification, earning an EcoVadis Gold medal, securing bluesign PRODUCT certification for 75 apparel styles and becoming a bluesign System Partner.

The report also details a slew of data:

  • 100% of 2025 styles have verifiable environmental or social attributes.
  • 94% of 2025 styles are made with recycled materials.

  • 7,365 tons of plastic were recycled in 2025 operations.
  • The supplier uses 100% renewable electricity at its headquarters.
